WHAT WE NEED TO DO NOW : For a Zero Carbon Future / Chris Goodall. - 215 pages ; 20 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The UK has declared a 'climate emergency' and pledged to become carbon neutral by 2050. So how do we get there? Drawing on actions, policies and technologies already emerging around the world, Chris Goodall sets out the ways
to achieve this. His proposals include: Building a huge
over-capacity of wind and solar energy, storing the excess
as hydrogen. Using hydrogen to fuel our trains, shipping,
boilers and heavy industry, while electrifying buses,
trucks and cars. Farming and eating differently,
encouraging plant-based alternatives to meat, paying
farmers to plant and maintain woodlands. Making fashion
sustainable and aviation pay its way, funding synthetic
fuels and genuine offsets. Using technical solutions to
capture CO2 from the air, and biochar to lock carbon in
the soil. What We Need To Do Now is an urgent, practical
and inspiring book that signals a green new deal for
Britain.
