  How Feasible Is 1.5°C?

  The world has already warmed by about 1.1°C, and studies suggest temperatures could cross 1.5°C within a decade. World leaders, activists and some scientists say the 1.5°C target is still feasible—barely, but at least it is technically possible. Is the 1.5°C Paris Agreement goal already lost? How important is it to hold on to it?

  Pathways to Commercial Liftoff

  The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) plays a critical role in accelerating the commercialization of clean energy technologies and enabling the nation’s broader industrial strategy. The historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) have reinforced this mandate, positioning the DOE to invest billions of dollars in large-scale demonstration and deployment of these technologies over the next decade. These investments are intended to drive commercialization and unlock trillions in private investment over the same period, to set the nation on a course to hit critical long-term targets. DOE’s Demonstration & Deployment Pathways Reports provide public and private sector capital allocators and decision makers with a perspective as to how various technologies could reach full-scale adoption and commercial bankability.
