Question

The quickest way to decarbonise in the near term is scaling up renewable energies to replace coal and gas. This will be even more important as transport and home heatingbecome electrified. While electrification and the deployment of renewables can go a long way, for some sectors this will not be enough. Cement and steel manufacture, for instance, cannot be simply electrified and powered by renewables. Similarly, heavy duty transport — such as air travel, shipping and long-haul trucking — presents a challenge.
Which one of the following statements can be properly inferred from the passage ?

• A. Transport and home heating cannot be powered using coal and gas.
• B. Air travel and shipping can be decarbonised over the long-term using current renewable energy technologies.
• C. Existing modes of generating renewable energy are insufficient for decarbonising cement manufacturing
• D. Long-haul trucking can only be powered using coal and gas

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The correct option is (C): Existing modes of generating renewable energy are insufficient for decarbonising cement manufacturing
