In January 2022 we started a series of publications to do with the theme of Net Zero by 2050: Technology for a Changing Climate. The theme is that executives and managers are investing in new technologies to meet the business challenges to do with climate change and resource depletion. The posts, ebooks and videos that we publish aim to provide these managers with realistic guidance as to what can be achieved within the next 28 years. We will be publishing information regularly at the following address. We are also working on a book with the same title. The current Table of Contents is shown here.

The first ebook in the series is Net Zero: An Opportunity. It is priced at $9.50. Information is provided here.
