Wind and solar power, paired with energy storage and energy savings, can almost entirely replace fossil fuels – and leave our communities better off. This is what is meant by carbon capture and storage (CCS). Carbon Capture is not a new idea – it has been around for more than 50 years.

The Tokyo Olympics will be powered by a fuel with ambition – hydrogen. The Olympic village will be powered by hydrogen made at a solar power plant in the exclusion zone created after the Fukushima nuclear accident a decade ago. Grey is made from natural gas or coal, and has a large carbon footprint.

Recent estimates suggest that China’s energy system is still primarily powered by coal – in fact, nearly 50% of the country’s electricity is generated using coal. It is worth noting that Bitcoin is just one of more than a thousand different cryptocurrencies, and each one has its own mining and energy requirements.
