Natural gas is displacing coal but still emits about half the CO2. ThorCon is competitive with natural gas and cheaper than LNG (liquified natural gas) power. With shipyard mass production of ThorCon power plants, by mid century we can end CO2 from burning coal and natural gas for electricity generation.
To end emissions from other uses of fossil fuels, electrify everything. Battery electric vehicles are one example. Other opportunities include building heating, advanced materials, ammonia production, and fuels using hydrogen from water electrolysis. Full electrification by 2100 with a world population of 9.5 billion would create electric power demand of about 12,000 GW. ending fossil fuel power, CO2 emissions, and global warming. Net-zero emissions energy systems presents the science.
