Energy Transition Is the Way Towards Reducing Emissions


The current warming up of the planet is seen as result of human activities and the emission of greenhouse gases since the mid-1800s. CO2 is the greatest contributor to the increasing global warming and has risen by 48% when compared to pre-industrial levels. Methane is the second largest contributor and its concentration in the atmosphere has also more than doubled since preindustrial times. The obvious solution to climate change at this point is to immediately reduce energy related emissions, and transition to alternative sources of energy. Activities which include burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas increases the emission of carbon pollution, resulting in climate change. The process of replacing fossil fuels with low carbon and renewable energy sources, called energy transition, should be the topmost priority in gearing up for climate resilience and sustainable development.
