Executive Summary
This Tech Roadmap report unpacks the business value, pace of innovation and maturity of 21 technologies that can improve GHG emissions management, removal and reduction. Verdantix performed an independent, fact-based analysis of the maturity, innovation, prospects and business value of each solution. Chief sustainability officers, global heads of net zero and sustainability, and operational leaders responsible for selecting technologies to support processes, systems and objectives should use this report to identify technologies that can add value to their operations. Risk-averse firms should focus on the potential of technologies with proven business value that are in the Growth or Maturity phases of the technology life cycle. Innovators and early adopters should take note of Launch phase technologies.
