Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) to produce synthetic fuels could be an alternative way to reach net zero while maintaining some existing energy infrastructure and minimizing the societal transition required, yet such scenarios remain unexamined. Here, the authors analyzed a CCU-based net-zero emissions scenario using a global energy system model.
