Electricity to be decarbonised by 2035: G7

Washington, May 27 (UNI) The Group of 7 or G7, representing some of the world's biggest economies, on Friday agreed to achieve "predominantly decarbonized" electricity sectors by 2035, which according to experts say will be a major step in helping the world avert catastrophic climate change, CNN reported.
The G7 nations made the new pledge in a 40-page communiqué, which also included a reaffirmation to end fossil fuel subsidies by the end of this year.
The decision however, does allow countries open to continue using fossil fuels if their greenhouse gases are "captured." At present there is no technology available which can capture 100 per cent of greenhouse gases emitted by the burning of fossil fuels.
