The WEF: "8 heavy-emitting sectors account for around 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions."

"All 8 sectors still have a huge way to go to meet net-zero goals."

"Shipping, cement and chemicals will need to nearly eliminate their direct emissions by 2050, while aviation will need to reduce direct emissions by 79%, and trucking and oil/gas both by 91%."

"Carbon capture... currently covers less than 1% of sectors' needs... By 2050, it needs to cover 55%."
