. Setting dates around the world for the end of internal combustion powered vehicle sales — such as the 2030 date set for new vehicles by the UK and 2035 in China — drives further growth, the report adds. In the US,That scale-up will lead to batteries for energy storage becoming cheaper, which in turn will further accelerate the growth of renewable energy. More green energy means lower electricity bills, which will make heat pumps even more cost effective.
When governments require a larger proportion of fertilizer to be green, that will drive a scale up and cost reductions in the production of green hydrogen, the report says. More green hydrogen will promote lower emissions from aviation, shipping, and steel production. Such mandates areThe Rise Of Plant-Based FoodThe third super tipping point is helping alternative proteins to beat animal-based proteins on cost while matching them on taste. Meat and dairy cause about 15% of global emissions.
The report claims public procurement of plant-based meat and dairy replacements by government departments, schools, and hospitals could be a powerful change agent. It would cut emissions from cattle and reduce the destruction of forests for pasture land. A 20% market share by 2035 would mean up to 800 million hectares of land would no longer be needed for livestock and their fodder. That’s equivalent to up to 15% of the world’s farmland today.
