Coal is the dirtiest fuel source – eliminating it is a priority for tackling climate change.
Clean energy innovation, giving up coal, cutting methane and getting China and India on board for net-zero can deliver progress at COP26.
Battery electric cars are an ideal choice for light-duty and shorter commutes, but for long-haul trucks or buses, hydrogen fuel cells offer higher loads, shorter refuelling times and a longer range.
Electric vehicle sales are booming and coal power is dwindling, but structural obstacles to net zero remain.
How economic thinking on climate change has evolved since the 2006 Stern Review.
Wind turbines need building, heat pumps need installing – but Britain has a chronic skills shortage.
