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
