... This workshop was intended to scope out the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's upcoming coordinated work on deep decarbonization, hereby launching the Deep Decarbonization Initiative. The Initiative will apply a systematic approach to analyzing barriers and opportunities for reduction of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions, and take a broader scope beyond the U.S.

... Workshop sessions will address specific classes of energy sector technologies, for example low carbon transpor tation, with the goal of understanding deployment and practical barriers faced in translating model assumptions to the real-world. The workshop will engage experts in modeling and development of decarbonization pathways with energy sector professionals with direct experience planning and managing energy technologies.
