Chris Goodall runs the [Carbon Commentary newsletter](https://carboncommentary.substack.com/), and is the author of [*The Switch*](https://earthbound.report/2016/08/03/book-review-the-switch-by-chris-goodall/?ref=exchange.ca-wn.org) and [*What We Need to Do Now*](https://earthbound.report/2020/02/24/book-review-what-we-need-to-do-now-by-chris-goodall/?ref=exchange.ca-wn.org). A number of his books feature in CA-WN's L[ending Library](https://exchange.ca-wn.org/ca-wn-library/) list. *Possible* is another example of his clear explanations of what sustainability requires, this time taking a global look at net zero targets.  
  
In earlier books he calls for 'electrifying everything' with a focus on the car industry. In this book he looks at the tougher challenge of decarbonising trucks, flights, shipping, cement and steel — sectors that are harder to electrify. Goodall sets out the many hurdles that need to be overcome, but ultimately concludes that solutions will be found in a world where technological progress is coming faster than widely realised. New tech featured includes Sweden’s H2 Green Steel, California’s Fortera cement substitute, Hong Kong garment-to-garment recycling, Finnish turbine company Coolbrook, Norwegian e-fuels, and Captura’s innovative ocean CO2 capture.

The book is helpfully set out with a look at sixteen challenges that we must overcome. He uses case studies and success stories from businesses around the world, which is interesting in and of itself. I haven't finished this book yet, but Chris Goodall is winning me over and I really do believe that a net zero future is possible.
