Skeptics have questioned whether hitting 2050 net-zero ambitions can be accomplished. However, some countries are giving others hope
Portugal and Brazil are two that come to mind when it comes to electricity generation for Miguel Stilwell d’Andrade, the CEO of EDP, a global utility company and energy producer that aims to be all green by 2030.
