Utsläppshierarki
Utsläppshierarki refers to a prioritized approach for reducing emissions, particularly in environmental policy and corporate sustainability strategies. The core principle is to tackle emissions in a specific order, starting with the most effective and preferable methods.
The hierarchy typically begins with avoidance. This means preventing emissions from occurring in the first place
If emissions remain after avoidance and reduction efforts, substitution is considered. This involves replacing high-emission sources
The final stages of the hierarchy often involve treatment or capture, where unavoidable emissions are treated
The concept of an emissions hierarchy is a guiding framework to promote a systematic and comprehensive strategy
