The focus must be on the decarbonization of the global energy system as it accounts for almost two-thirds of greenhouse gas emissions. Today around the world, new renewable power plants are being built that will generate electricity for less cost than fossil-fuel power plants. Liquid biofuel production must grow ten-fold.
