Technology

These are the technologies that Bill Gates cites that we need to develop to help solve the climate change crisis:

• Advanced biofuels
• Hydrogen produced without emitting carbon
• Grid-scale electricity storage that can last a full season
• Electrofuels
• Zero-carbon cement
• Zero-carbon steel
• Plant and cell-based meat and dairy
• Zero-carbon fertilizer
• Next-generation nuclear fission
• Nuclear fusion
• Carbon capture (both direct air capture and point capture)
• Underground electricity transmission
• Zero-carbon plastics
• Geothermal energy
• Pumped hydro
• Thermal storage
• Drought- and flood-tolerant food crops
• Zero-carbon alternatives to palm oil
• Coolants that don’t contain F-gases
• Load shifting
• Offshore wind
• Onshore wind
