Decarbonisation tackles climate change by reducing greenhouse gasses from our skies

How will Decarbonisation tackle Climate Change?

|

Decarbonisation reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) in the earth’s atmosphere. How do we decarbonise and what part does it play in the fight against climate change?  Why is Decarbonisation Important? Burning fossil fuels creates large amounts of CO2. The accumulation of CO2, and other greenhouse gasses (GHG), traps heat in the earth’s atmosphere. This causes average […]

Net Zero Emissions: Can Market-Based Instruments Save Us?

|

Net-zero emissions can help us reduce our climate change impacts. One of the biggest reasons behind climate change is greenhouse gases (GHGs). They trap energy from the Sun in our atmosphere. While we need some greenhouse gases to keep our planet warm, more GHGs in the air means a warmer Earth. There are many greenhouse

What is wind energy? Advantages and disadvantages

|

The basic principle of wind energy is simple. A series of sails or blades mounted around a rotor catch the wind and translate its kinetic energy into rotational energy. Traditional windmills use that rotational energy to grind grain or pump water. But in modern wind turbines, it turns a generator that creates electricity. How do

Electrochemical Batteries: A Solution for Energy Wastage?

|

What are Batteries? What is Electrochemical Energy? People use batteries for everything from children’s toys to industrial machines. Electrochemical energy (electricity stored in chemical form) powers batteries. As there is more demand than ever for sustainable energy, batteries have the potential to meet this. To meet energy needs, people created electrochemical batteries. These use a

The story of Iceland: 100% renewable energy

|

Over the coming decades, global warming is set to increase the earth’s temperature by 1.5 ℃. Indeed, a 2021 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change confirmed this recently. Fossil fuel emissions are a major cause of this rise. If we don’t act fast to reduce the effects of global warming, this increase could
