However, unlike the energy sector, where renewable energy sources, reduced consumption and increased energy efficiency offer clear alternatives to today’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels, decarbonizing the industrial sector presents a more complex challenge.

Acidification : Reducing the pH rating of a substance making it more acidic in nature, for example, increased carbon emissions lead to the oceans absorbing more of it, increasing acidification and damaging ecology such as coral bleaching. Filtration : Removing solid waste and material from water in the process of wastewater treatment.

CO 2 is at about 410 parts per million by volume (ppm) in the air, about 50% higher than before the start of large-scale fossil-fuel use.

Cop stands for conference of the parties under the UNFCCC, and the annual meetings have swung between fractious and soporific, interspersed with moments of high drama and the occasional triumph ( the Paris agreement in 2015 ) and disaster (Copenhagen in 2009). Why do we need a Cop – don’t we already have the Paris agreement?

What makes me most optimistic are the recent technological innovations and falling costs for renewable energy generation, battery storage and alternative fuel vehicles.

One year on, we have a clearer picture of what we vaguely knew already: the biggest-ever climate law and its robust tax incentives is igniting the clean energy transition but is not moving us off fossil fuels fast enough. A national emergency could target the real culprit. This is a visceral moment from Phoenix to the Florida Keys.

At the start of the recent COP 27 climate meeting in Egypt, a United Nations report on the role of financial institutions in controlling climate change said, “There is no room for new investment in fossil fuel supply.”. With COP 27 now concluded, fossil fuel investment remains the elephant in the room.
