Why renewable?

Carbon Emission

Definition of Carbon Emission: carbon dioxide emissions due to human activity. The data considers only carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and cement manufacture, but not emissions from land use such as deforestation. The top 10 countries in the world emit 67.07% of the world's total. Other powerful greenhouse gases are not included in these data, including methane.

Carbon Footprint

A carbon footprint is "the total set of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions caused by an organization, event or product". For simplicity of reporting, it is often expressed in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent of other GHGs, emitted. An individual's, a nation's, or an organization's carbon footprint can be measured by undertaking a GHG emissions assessment. Once the size of a carbon footprint is known, a strategy can be devised to reduce it, e.g. by technological developments, better process and product management, changed Green Public or Private Procurement (GPP), Carbon capture, consumption strategies, and others. The mitigation of carbon footprints through the development of alternative projects, such as solar or wind energy or reforestation, represents one way of reducing a carbon footprint and is often known as Carbon offsetting.

Carbon Market

In order to preserve a high chance of keeping global temperature increase below 2 degrees centigrade, current climate science suggests that atmospheric CO2 concentrations need to peak below 450 ppm. This requires global emissions to peak in the next decade and decline to below roughly the 80% the 1990's levels by the year 2050 (Baer and Mastrandrea, 2006). Such dramatic emissions reductions require a sharp move away from fossil fuel, significant improvements in energy efficiency and substantial reorganization of our current economic system. This transition can only be achieved by far-reaching national and international climate policies.
Carbon offsetting is an increasingly popular means of taking action. By paying someone else to reduce GHG emissions elsewhere, the purchaser of a carbon offset aims to compensate for – or “offset” – their own emissions. Individuals seek to offset their travel emissions and companies claim “climate neutrality” by buying large quantities of carbon offsets to “neutralize” their carbon footprint or that of their products.

Voluntary Carbon Market

The voluntary market consists of companies, governments, organizations, organizers of international events, and individuals, taking responsibility for their carbon emissions by voluntarily purchasing carbon offsets. These voluntary offsets are often bought from retailers or organizations that invest in a portfolio of offset projects and sell slices of the resulting emissions reductions to customers in relatively small quantities.

The message is in time the carbon emission reduction and to sell carbon emission credit will be a huge business and Solar gives great advantage for it!

Carbon Emissions of Different Technologies

The different power generation technologies have different CO2 emission levels.
The smaller the number the more saving in GHG emission!
