Question: How is the world doing on its quest to implement clean renewable energy?
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) latest report, the world is heading in the right direction, but needs a more aggressive approach to avoid the worsening impacts from our climate crisis. The estimated newly commissioned global renewable energy production for 2021 is 290 gigawatts, expected to set a record.
Renewable energy alone will not solve the crisis. The use of fossil fuel must end, and the new exploration of oil and gas must stop by the end of 2021. Solar energy dominates the global renewable energy market and over the next five years expects to double its capacity over the output of wind energy.… Continue reading

Thinking Greener & Powered by Renewable Energy

The technology is comprised of eight air collectors that are arranged around a central plant. Each collector has a fan on one side and intake vents on the other side, with carbon capturing filters in the middle. As air is pulled through the intake vents, the filters capture the CO2 out of the air. Once filters have been saturated, the collector shuts down to remove the carbon from the filter. This is achieved by closing both… Continue reading
