- Clean power is the most affordable and reliable option for all countries to meet their power needs efficiently by 2030.
- Zero emission vehicles are the new normal and accessible, affordable, and sustainable in all regions by 2030.
- Near-zero emission steel is the preferred choice in global markets, with efficient use and near-zero emission steel production established and growing in every region by 2030.
- Affordable renewable and low carbon hydrogen is globally available by 2030.
