Net-Zero Technology
- Renewable Energy Sources: The development and adoption of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass, can significantly reduce carbon emissions and help humans get to net zero.
- Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): CCS technologies can capture and store carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial processes, preventing them from entering the atmosphere.
- Electric & Hydrogen Vehicles (EVs): The transition from petrol-powered vehicles to hydrogen and electric vehicles can significantly reduce carbon emissions from the transportation sector.
- Energy-Efficient Buildings: Building designs that incorporate energy-efficient technologies such as insulation, smart thermostats, and energy-efficient lighting can reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.
- Green Hydrogen: Hydrogen produced using renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, can be used as a clean fuel in transportation and industry.
- Sustainable Agriculture: Sustainable agricultural practices can reduce carbon emissions from farming and improve soil health, which can help sequester carbon.
- Smart Grid Technology: Smart grid technology can optimize energy consumption and reduce waste by dynamically adjusting energy production and distribution in response to demand.
- Energy Storage: Energy storage technologies, such as batteries and pumped hydro storage, can help balance renewable energy supply and demand and provide reliable energy supply.
- Carbon Pricing: Carbon pricing policies, such as carbon taxes and emissions trading systems, can incentivize companies and individuals to reduce carbon emissions.
- AI and Machine Learning: AI and machine learning can be used to optimize energy consumption, improve energy efficiency, and predict energy demand, helping to reduce carbon emissions.
