‘As Chris Goodall explains, removing fossil fuels from our energy system is technologically feasible … and we should take heart that these steps to fight climate change will also lead to large and immediate gains in our day-to-day health’ Tim Harford

A carbon neutral future is possible – we have the technology to transform the global economy and guard against the worst effects of climate change. So how do we get to net zero?

In Possible, entrepreneur and climate tech consultant Chris Goodall tackles sixteen challenges that we must overcome in making a just transition to carbon neutrality. He explores the technologies that will solve these challenges – from changing how steel, cement and fuel are made, to locking carbon in healthy soils, and from green hydrogen storage to building climate-resilient homes. With case studies and success stories from entrepreneurs across the globe, Goodall illustrates the incredible potential of a Net Zero future, as well as the determination we will need to overcome these problems.

New tech featured includes Sweden’s H2 Green Steel, California’s Fortera cement substitute, Hong Kong garment-to-garment recycling, Finnish turbine company Coolbrook, Norwegian e-fuels, and Captura’s innovative ocean CO2 capture.
