In the case of climate change, there is unequal access to the knowledge, technology, and finances that would help to combat it. Keeping with the topic of climate change, one part of the inequality is evident and it’s the discussion about carbon debt. In other words, most people are lowering their carbon emissions.

There is talk that a global “hydrogen economy” can emerge to save the climate from carbon emissions. Hydrogen could power trucks, ships and planes and be used to produce everything from cement to steel and fertiliser. Hydrogen may have lost, to electricity, the competition to power the next generation of personal vehicles.

Yang Fuqiang thinks it is unreasonable to make energy-producing provinces such as Inner Mongolia solely responsible for cutting carbon emissions. If it benefits, it has to help cut carbon. Wind and solar power can provide green electricity for those facilities, while the low local temperatures can help with cooling requirements.
