Nickel and the frontiers of carbon neutrality

Abstract

The climate crisis is deepening and accelerating, and highlights the urgent need to reduce anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions and ‘transition’ away from the current fossil fuel energy system. As a response, a range of bold political and economic programmes are being proposed, which are centred on decarbonising the energy system and moving towards renewable energy generation, which includes expanding investments in renewable energy technologies, ‘green industry’ and energy-efficient transport. Among these programmes, Green New Deal proposals are among the most prominent.
