Global Warming Solutions

Top Ten

Page 2: Combat Global Warming

1.Remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it in biomass or soil.

Carbon biological capture

Page 3: Combat Global Warming

2. Carbon geological capture

Capture carbon and store it in underground geologic formations.

Page 4: Combat Global Warming

Produce products that reduce greenhouse gases by serving as substitutes for fossil fuels.

3. Bio products

Page 5: Combat Global Warming

Contain methane emissions

landfill recovery, bio digesters, cattle & feed efficiency, coal mine methane recovery, and natural gas facilities.

4. Methane

Page 6: Combat Global Warming

Buy or sell credits that represent reduction or offset of greenhouse gases.

5. Greenhouse gas markets

Page 7: Combat Global Warming

Use electric and heating efficiency strategies to reduce greenhouse gases and save money.

6. Electric & heating efficiency

Page 8: Combat Global Warming

Implement efficiency improvements in engines, transmissions, aero-dynamics, and tire drag in light-duty vehicles.

7. Vehicle efficiency

Page 9: Combat Global Warming

A short-term solution -wind and solar produce virtually no greenhouse gases as a byproduct of power production.

8. Wind & solar power

Page 10: Combat Global Warming

Develop hydrogen and electric as energy sources.

9. Low or no-carbon energy systems

Page 11: Combat Global Warming

Refuel with cleaner fuels…Retrofit with pollution controls…

Replace older vehicles…Reduce idling.

10.Cleaner diesel
