In simple terms, decarbonization has two basic components:
- The elimination of producing CO2 from fossil fuels
- The removal of excess CO2 already in the carbon cycle

Numbers. When talking about decarbonization, there are lots of numbers. And they pertain to all aspects in the decarbonization journey- technology, economics, politics, and regulation. How do you know the numbers are accurate? How do you know if they are true? Who can you trust? It's important to know where the data is coming from.

Decarbonization is an extremely complex goal to achieve. It will come from disparate actions from the various facets that will make mistakes along the way, course adjust, and accommodate when faced with the critical need to integrate.
