Accelerating the use of decarbonization technologies

There are many existing technologies aimed at the transition to net-zero carbon energy. Unfortunately, the pace of the clean energy transition has been too slow to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C. What are the main clean energy technological gaps that are slowing down the decarbonization efforts?
