Details
The Net Zero Society Foresight project used scenarios to set out four alternative pathways to reaching the net-zero goal. The project then used modelling techniques to identify how emissions targets could be met through rollouts of technology and energy infrastructure, given the demands and technology availability in each scenario – and what the costs might be. The scenarios are being used to help stress-test policy options.
