As opposed to strategies to simply reduce emissions by 20 or 30%, a net zero target requires finding ways to totally eliminate fossil emissions and meet all of our energy needs with very low carbon options.

The Green Hydrogen Catapult target will require investment of roughly $110 billion and deliver more than 120,000 jobs, according to the groups.

As we move forward into a low-carbon future, disruptive innovations in information technology will help us to more intelligently integrate and transition energy systems.

With a rapidly changing energy landscape and rising customer expectations, businesses are being forced to shift from a highly traditional, regulation-driven marketplace to an advanced technology-driven environment to keep up with the growing customer demands,

In October 2020, the Japanese government presented a plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Canada targeted an 80% reduction in GHG emissions by 2050 compared to 2005 levels.

The agreement brings together the best-in-class in low carbon technologies from ADNOC and Total, and expands on the long-standing partnership and collaboration between the two leading energy producers across the full value chain.
