“What's going to be adamant is that we decarbonize faster than ever before in the next couple of years. So it's almost not the reduction that you will have between today and 2050, it's the whole volume of emissions that you will still have on the way to get there. That is gonna be very critical. And I think that's that kind of trickle-down in more, more people's minds.” - Tim Moerman
