Carbon emissions refer to the release of carbon dioxide CO2 into the atmosphere. This primarily occurs through the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas for electricity, transportation, and industrial processes. Carbon emissions contribute significantly to global warming. To mitigate this, various strategies are employed across different sectors. In the energy sector, transitioning to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power is essential. These sources produce little to no carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels. Transportation is another major contributor to carbon emissions. Promoting electric vehicles, enhancing public transportation, and encouraging cycling and walking can help reduce the carbon footprint. In aviation, developing alternative fuels and more efficient aircraft designs are critical steps. In agriculture and forestry, practices such as reforestation, afforestation, and sustainable farming can enhance carbon sequestration, capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in plants and soil. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of carbon emission. It aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of carbon emission reduction. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for those interested in this field.
