Climate Crisis Advisory Group argues that atmospheric concentrations of CO2 could reach dangerous levels by 2050, even if net zero targets are met. Net zero is going to have to become net negative. Following a pathway leading only to net zero by 2050 is now too little too late", today's report states. by the end of the century.

After all, a substantial fraction of global carbon emissions arise from the production, transportation, and consumption of fossil fuels. Hydrogen is increasingly being viewed as an important tool for reducing carbon emissions, because the use of hydrogen for energy generates no direct carbon dioxide emissions.
