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 drives turbines that generate electricity. More info
Industrial processes (oil industry itself, gas for ovens...)
Industries utilize diesel fuel, gasoline, natural gas, or coal to power furnaces and 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
Agriculture (methane from organic decomposition...)
Agriculture contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through various processes involved in food production. More info
