In light of DNV GL’s Energy Transition Outlook 2019 launch, this infographic describes 10 measures that aim to help close the emissions gap to well below 2°C. However, DNV GL added that policies must also be developed in order to mitigate at least three fronts at the same time: higher energy efficiency, more renewables, and industrial-scale CCS.
According to the report, technologies have the ability to deliver the COP 21 1.5°C target. Nevertheless, it mentions that this will not be able with the current rate of progress.

There is therefore no silver bullet. If the world is to avoid dangerous warming, policies must be developed to tackle at least three fronts simultaneously: higher energy efficiency, more renewables, and industrial-scale CCS DNV GL said. Nonetheless, the report explains that a combination of 10 measures can assist the world in achieving this target. These measures would be:
