The molecules of the energy transition

Whatever the path to a zero-carbon world, electricity will not be the sole source of energy: molecules such as hydrogen, methane and ethanol will be required for a long time to come.

According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, by 2050 more than 66% of the 9 billion people on earth will live in cities, up from 43% today. That’s nearly 3 billion more city dwellers than in 2020. This growing urban population will mean that more food will have to be produced as close to cities as possible and with cleaner and cleaner energy.
