Category: Emission Reduction

Emission reduction refers to the process of decreasing the amount of pollutants released into the atmosphere, primarily greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). The aim of emission reduction is to mitigate climate change and its impacts by limiting the concentration of these harmful gases in the environment. This can be achieved through various strategies, including enhancing energy efficiency, transitioning to renewable energy sources, implementing cleaner technologies, promoting sustainable transportation, and adopting practices that sequester carbon, such as reforestation. Emission reduction is a critical component of environmental policy and international agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, where countries commit to specific targets for reducing their emissions to combat global warming and promote sustainable development.
