Abstract
Fossil fuels have historically dominated the global energy scenario, contributing to almost 80% of the total supplies. Climate change, attributed to the emission of greenhouse gases from the use of fossil fuels, is arguably the biggest concern with the present energy systems. Decarbonization of the energy sector is at the heart of the unfolding energy transition as a reduction in emissions of CO 2 and other greenhouse gases is fundamental in the fight against climate change. The energy sector can be decarbonized through a range of technologies and solutions such as renewable energy, electric vehicles (EVs), hydrogen and fuel cells, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and phasing out of fossil fuels.
