The ETC is a global coalition of leaders aiming to accelerate progress towards net-zero-emissions energy systems.
As costs continue to fall and deployment scales up, wind and solar are now the lowest-cost sources of new generation in most regions and poised to dominate electricity systems worldwide.

As electricity demand doubles by 2050, grid investment must rise but with the right planning, costs per MWh can stay flat.
Smart regulation, spatial planning and DSF, amongst other levers, will be key to keeping grid costs low.

Carbon market integrity is non-negotiable.
✅ Removals are essential to neutralise residual emissions that cannot be reduced
✅ All carbon credits must be high integrity = permanence, additionality, verification
Let’s scale carbon removals that work.
