DESCRIPTION:Capturing barriers to technology change in computational models
  for climate policy\n\nCDSI Speaker Series x TISED Talks\n\nOver the past 
 few years\, a wave of actors – governments at all levels\, electric utilit
 ies\, companies\, and educational institutions – have set targets to reach
  net zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Meeting these targets will requi
 re a substantial reduction in fossil fuel use and simultaneous growth in a
 doption of new climate technologies. Climate policy models frequently assu
 me that rapid technology transitions are possible\, but history points to 
 potential social\, political\, and economic barriers. This talk will discu
 ss projects at the Climate Action Lab to bridge granular technology data a
 nd computational models to explore the limits and potential of technology 
 change for climate policy. The first project uses detailed technology and 
 infrastructure data to model pathways to phase out coal power plants and t
 ransition away from natural gas use in buildings. The second project uses 
 early investment data and insights from analogous historical technologies 
 to model the scale-up of carbon dioxide removal technologies. These projec
 ts highlight the high costs of delaying technology transitions and the piv
 otal role of climate and innovation policy over the next decade.\n\n\nEven
