Early transition to near-zero emissions electricity and carbon dioxide removal is essential to achieve net-zero emissions at a low cost in Australia Open
Achieving net-zero emissions requires major changes across a nation’s economy, energy and land systems, particularly due to sectors where emissions are difficult to eliminate. Here we adapt two global scenarios from the International Energ…
