decarbonizációja

Decarbonization refers to the process of reducing or eliminating carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, particularly those generated from the burning of fossil fuels. This is a critical global effort aimed at mitigating climate change and its associated environmental impacts. The primary sources of CO2 emissions targeted by decarbonization efforts include the energy sector, transportation, industry, and agriculture.

Strategies for decarbonization are multifaceted and involve a transition towards cleaner energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower. This also includes improving energy efficiency across all sectors, electrifying transportation and industrial processes, and developing and deploying carbon capture and storage technologies. Furthermore, policy interventions like carbon pricing, regulations, and incentives play a significant role in driving the adoption of decarbonization measures. International agreements and national commitments set targets and frameworks for achieving these reductions. The ultimate goal is to achieve a net-zero emission economy, where any residual emissions are balanced by carbon removal.
