Qbits for Climate: How Quantum Computing Can Have a Gigaton Impact on Decarbonization
summary
McKinsey screens 150 use cases down to about 20–30 climate-critical problems, estimating roughly 7 gigatons/year impact from ten high‑value applications (≈20% of today’s emissions). Concrete projects include a multi‑year Mercedes‑Benz × PsiQuantum program that codes chemistry algorithms for million‑qubit fault‑tolerant simulation of lithium‑ion interfaces, Terra Quantum’s deployment of hybrid virtualized qubits on classical HPC for assembly‑line scheduling, route‑optimization to cut empty miles, biomass emissions tuning and LNG logistics.
