FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change is already happening: temperatures are rising, drought and wildfires are occurring more frequently, rainfall patterns are shifting, glaciers and snow are melting and sea levels are rising. To mitigate climate change, we must reduce or prevent the emissions linked to human activities. 

​

Throughout the past century, human activities have released large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Most of the gases come from burning fossil fuels to produce energy. Greenhouse gases are like a blanket around the earth, trapping energy in the atmosphere and causing it to warm.

​

Bill Gates recently published his book, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, detailing the transformation necessary to reverse the effects of decades of these catastrophic practices. According to his book there are only two numbers we need to know about when it comes to climate change, “The first is 51 billion. The other is zero.” 

​

Every year, we add 51 billion tons of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. If we’re going to avoid a climate disaster, we have to get from 51 billion to zero in just 30 years. This might be the most difficult challenge humankind has ever faced, because virtually everything we do – growing things, making things, getting from place to place, leading a comfortable daily life – releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

​

In order to stabilise climate change, CO2 emissions need to fall to zero. Bill Gates throughout his book creates a clear spreadsheet for getting rid of the 51 billion tons of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, with the goal of achieving net carbon zero emissions by 2050. 

​

Net Zero means we are not adding new emissions to the atmosphere, combating the production of harmful greenhouse gases. 

​

This is where UP Technology becomes a crucial player when it comes to driving climate change to Net Zero. UP Technology, burning with pure oxygen, can reduce the flue gases (CO2, etc) by 75%. 

​

The path the world is currently on is unsustainable and unwise, creating great demand and urgency for UP Technology within these carbon-intensive industries to help eliminate the production of CO2 actively helping save our planet from climate disaster, by creating 'Better Energy For A Better World'.
