While some progress has been made in reducing GHG emissions, we are still far from having turned the corner. In fact, the modest advances achieved by Western countries are insufficient to offset the rising emissions in developing nations.
GHG sources that must be suppressed
Dirty electric power plants (Coal for steam turbines...)
Conventional “dirty” power plants burn coal or natural gas to drive turbines that generate electricity. More info
Industrial processes (oil industry itself, gas for ovens...)
Industries use diesel fuel, gasoline, natural gas, or coal to heat furnaces and power machinery. More info
Fuels for transport (gas for engines...)
Transportation via cars, trucks, trains, planes, and boats relies on the combustion of gasoline, diesel fuel, or kerosene. More info
Residential and commercial (furnace, stove, waste...)
Residential and commercial buildings utilize cooking stoves and heating furnaces powered by natural gas or heating oil. Additionally, they generate organic waste that decomposes into methane. More info
