The Path to Net Zero: How to Reach Climate Neutrality in Europe
summary
McKinsey modeling maps every industry and energy use into an abatement cost curve showing about 3.5 billion tons of abatement needed on average to 2050, and claims Europe can reach net zero at zero net cost if low‑cost measures are deployed now. The work quantifies trade‑offs: negative‑cost levers (efficiency, electrification), hard‑to‑abate sectors (aviation, steel), a need to double power capacity (≈400–650 GW) and options like green hydrogen at ~€2/kg.
