Challenges and Supports to a Decarbonized World
This lecture explores the challenges and supports to achieving a decarbonized world, focusing on topics such as the dynamics of clean energy technologies, the emergence of electric cars, energy storage solutions, and the sustainability of batteries. The instructor discusses the cost dynamics of clean energy technologies, the surge in demand for lithium-ion batteries, the development of storage solutions, and the importance of heat pumps in the energy transition. Additionally, the lecture covers the CO2 emissions by different transport modes, the role of hydrogen in decarbonization, and the energy pay-back time of solar PV systems.
