The report from consulting firm McKinsey & Company says that by harnessing the mysterious power of quantum mechanics, computers could find everything from better batteries to ways to capture carbon dioxide. The company predicts that useful quantum computers could arrive by the end of the decade.
"Meeting the net-zero emissions goal that countries and some industries have committed to will not be possible without huge advances in climate technology that are not possible today," the report's authors wrote. "Even the most powerful supercomputers available now cannot solve some of these problems. Quantum computers could be a game changer in these areas."
According to the McKinsey report, advances powered by quantum computing could help transform the economy in ways that would improve the environment. For example, new technologies could reduce methane produced by agriculture, make cement production emission-free and develop better renewable solar technologies.
