Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a technology intended to mitigate carbon emissions from industrial processes like power plants. CCS can serve as an important part of meeting Paris Climate Change Targets. Captured CO2 is compressed into liquid form before being transported by pipelines or ships for long-term storage in geological formations such as depleted…

An electric vehicle (EV) is defined as any motor vehicle powered by electricity stored in batteries rather than using oil-dependent conventional cars as its source. Many governments support the adoption of EVs through incentives such as tax credits and investments in charging infrastructure. Benefits Electric vehicles (EVs) offer lower running costs and emissions than traditional…

Energy policy refers to a set of guidelines, objectives and regulations established by governments, organizations or individuals for managing the production, distribution and consumption of energy resources.

Develop and implement energy policies requires cooperation across many…

Climate change mitigation refers to measures taken to decrease sources of greenhouse gases while increasing carbon sinks, such as switching to renewable energy, revamping our agriculture systems, protecting forests, or switching off lights in unlit rooms. Implementing these measures is critical to creating a more sustainable future, and everyone can play their part by advocating…

Sustainable buildings contribute directly and indirectly to better human health, both directly through optimizing indoor environments and indirectly via reduced energy use that cuts air pollution linked to serious medical conditions. Green construction also boosts local economies while decreasing long-distance shipping of materials for construction purposes. Green buildings promote the use of products that reduce…

Mixed-use development offers various advantages for communities, investors, and residents; however, its implementation can be complex due to restrictive zoning regulations or local opposition. Constructing walkable communities that feature amenities within walking distance of homes encourages alternative modes of transport and improves residents’ health, while keeping to an established construction schedule and budget allocation ensures…

Communities that concentrate housing, jobs and services near transit stations tend to be more livable. Such neighborhoods tend to be located within a quarter mile of a train or bus stop and boast high-quality walking environments. TOD should be pursued via an inclusive process that is both transparent and participatory, such as by including local…

Sustainable urban infrastructure addresses both environmental sustainability and social equity. Achieve this balance requires understanding the connections between systems, adapting solutions to specific urban contexts, and incorporating smart technologies to optimize infrastructure performance. Cities across the nation are exploring various strategies to build and maintain sustainable infrastructure, from using green energy to reduce their carbon…
