IPCC AR6 (Part III): Can carbon capture and renewable energy save the world?

The third installment of the sisxth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was released on April 4, 2022. It focuses on widening the window of opportunity by suggesting mitigatory solutions to combat the climate crisis.

The world is planning too many coal-based plants to be able to meet the 1.5 degree Celsius temperature target. The third installment of the IPCC report has made it clear that while we cannot rule out technologies such as carbon capture and storage, the only effective way to meet the 1.5°C target is to phase out fossil fuels and make the economy dependent on renewable energy.
