Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology can reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and other energy-intensive industries by capturing extra CO2, transporting it, and permanently storing it. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an air pollutant that builds up in the atmosphere, however current technologies exist to capture it from both natural and fossil fuel combustion…

Climate change mitigation entails taking measures to avoid or minimize its adverse impacts, from advocating low carbon energy sources to altering consumer behavior. Reduce emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases while improving sinks (such as expanding forest cover). Our ultimate aim should be to stabilize global average temperatures. Long-lived greenhouse gases Long-lived greenhouse gases like CO2…

Energy policy is determined by national issues and interests, including decarbonization, system reliability, resource diversification, technology export potential, economic costs and access. As well, energy policy must ensure all consumers can take advantage of energy efficiency and renewables; and support job creation while protecting iconic public lands from energy development impacts. Cost-effective energy efficiency programs…

Mixed-use developments are becoming increasingly popular. These projects integrate housing, offices and retail into one building or development – from small office buildings with apartments above them to sprawling urban villages. Promote community priorities such as improved access to local destinations, small business viability improvements and inclusion for all income levels. Assess housing and business…

Green buildings can be cost effective, healthy and supportive of their communities. Furthermore, they help fight climate change while at the same time being one of the best ways to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Life cycle analysis (LCA) allows us to consider all of the effects associated with building processes from start-to-finish, making LCA an…

Sustainable urban infrastructure seeks to minimize human activities’ environmental impact in cities and towns by developing more cost-effective systems for transportation, energy provision, housing and waste disposal. Transport systems that prioritize walking and bicycling while cutting emissions from cars, trucks and ships can greatly decrease traffic congestion and air pollution levels. Green Infrastructure Green infrastructure…

Transit oriented development (TOD) combines regional planning, city revitalization and suburban renewal into one program. TOD creates exciting public places that provide greater access to jobs and housing while decreasing automobile usage. TODs typically involve light or heavy rail transit systems; however, many communities also incorporate TOD concepts into developments served by bus-based public transit.…

Energy efficiency involves using less energy for any task, thereby cutting your costs and helping protect the environment. Low-income families often spend much of their incomes paying energy bills. By making homes and workplaces more energy-efficient, energy bills may become more manageable. Energy Savings Energy efficiency reduces fossil fuel usage and associated costs, saving money…

Brundtland Report’s definition of sustainable development states: ‘development that meets present-generation needs without jeopardizing future-generations’ ability to meet theirs.” This requires reconciling economic growth with social inclusion and environmental protection. Transparency between stakeholders – including customers – and management is integral to sustainability, building trust and aligning goals with one another. Human Rights Human rights…

Smart grid technology is a system designed to gather information, optimize power distribution and provide utilities with actionable insights. The infrastructure includes sensors, meters and devices which monitor electricity use and grid conditions. Data collected by these systems is processed by AI-powered monitoring systems that analyze it before triggering automated responses to minimise outages while…
