What is decarbonization technology? — VoltronAI
Decarbonization technology refers to a range of technologies, strategies, and practices that are used to reduce the carbon footprint of various industries and sectors, with the ultimate goal of achieving a low-carbon or zero-carbon economy. Decarbonization technology is a critical component of efforts to address the global challenge of climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
There are several key areas of decarbonization technology, including:
Renewable Energy: Renewable energy technologies, such as wind turbines, solar panels, and hydropower, play a critical role in decarbonization by reducing the dependence on fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Renewable energy technologies generate electricity from clean, renewable sources, such as wind, sunlight, and water, and do not produce harmful pollutants or greenhouse gases.
Energy Efficiency: Energy efficiency technologies and practices aim to reduce the amount of energy required to perform a given task or function, which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Energy efficiency technologies include everything from more efficient light bulbs and HVAC systems to insulation, building materials, and advanced manufacturing processes.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): CCS is a set of technologies that are used to…
