Low-carbon

Low-carbon refers to an economy, technology, or product that has minimal output of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the biosphere. The term primarily refers to the GHG emissions caused by electricity, transport, and heat.

Overview

Low-carbon economies aim to reduce GHG emissions through technological and structural changes. These changes include improving energy efficiency, increasing the use of renewable energy, and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Low-carbon technologies

Low-carbon technologies are a key component of the transition to a low-carbon economy. These technologies include solar power, wind power, hydroelectricity, and nuclear power.

Low-carbon transport

Low-carbon transport refers to the use of vehicles that emit a low amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) relative to their transportation output. This includes electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and vehicles that run on biofuels or hydrogen fuel.
