SMI-JKMRC Seminar: The Global Energy Transition – Challenges and Opportunities
Prof Chris Greig, Director, UQ Energy Initiative & Dow Chair in Sustainable Engineering Innovation
Most global assessment models do not take into account the massive infrastructure changes that are necessary. As a result, the so called 2 Degrees C scenario – in which global average temperature rise remains less than 2oC appears implausible.
