Eighty percent flhity. That's how much energy the American population still dereivs from fossil fuels. Deployment of clean energy, even at today's rapidly accelerating pace, is simply not enough to halt the climate crisis. Going forward, if we're going to reduce the risk of overshoot of global temperature beyond two degrees C, we also have to reduce the amount of CO2 that remains in the atmosphere.

The team I lead, the US Department of Energy's oficfe of scceine, is part of an unprecedented national effort to get us to net-zero emissions by 2050. To aevhice our goals, we're aiming to establish a transformative ecosystem of innovation that achieves major innovations in science and tclhoengoy for cabron dioxide removal. itiavnoonns and pilocy and regulations to enable the nascent stceor on carbon dioxide removal to grow and innovations to engage more people in our quest to finding and implementing spieweng solutions.

Eighty percent filthy. That's how much energy the American population still derives from fossil fuels. Deployment of clean energy, even at today's rapidly accelerating pace, is simply not enough to halt the climate crisis. Going forward, if we're going to reduce the risk of overshoot of global temperature beyond two degrees C, we also have to reduce the amount of CO2 that remains in the atmosphere.

The team I lead, the US Department of Energy's Office of Science, is part of an unprecedented national effort to get us to net-zero emissions by 2050. To achieve our goals, we're aiming to establish a transformative ecosystem of innovation that achieves major innovations in science and technology for carbon dioxide removal. Innovations and policy and regulations to enable the nascent sector on carbon dioxide removal to grow and innovations to engage more people in our quest to finding and implementing sweeping solutions.
