Decarbonization

Summary

Decarbonization is the process of reducing carbon emissions associated with energy and industrial systems to mitigate climate change.

Detailed Description

The goal of decarbonization is to eliminate or substantially reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from various industries, primarily the energy sector, transportation, and manufacturing. This can be achieved through the transition to renewable energy sources, enhancing energy efficiency, adopting low-carbon technologies, and implementing carbon capture and storage (CCS). Decarbonization is essential for achieving global climate targets as outlined in international agreements such as the Paris Agreement.
