How Technologies Help Intensify the Fight Against Climate Change

There is tremendous growth in climate awareness and the allocation of significant funding to combat climate change.

FREMONT, CA: Climate change is one of the most significant concerns, and technology is the only thing that can help combat it as it continues to expand. Climate change is designed to make us feel despondent and divided about current circumstances. Developing and implementing innovative technologies is essential to help the world overcome its carbon addiction. Solar, wind, and hydropower are now affordable, market-ready technologies replacing fossil fuels worldwide. Even more advanced technologies are horizon to expedite the transition to a greener future. With rising tech use and consumer awareness, more people are interested in climate tech; this includes:

Direct air capture technology: CO2 levels have risen with the industrial revolution. Trees sequester carbon naturally, yet the situation is urgent enough to welcome climate technology. DAC technology helps here. Huge vacuum cleaners trap CO2 underground. Sometimes, they disperse sequestered gas to industries that make fertilizer or carbonated drinks.

Smart hives to conserve bees: Bees ensure a healthy food supply. Bees help plants grow, reproduce, and produce food through pollinating. Protecting bees and other pollinators can help with global food supply, poverty, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation. Cloud technologies, AI, and smart sensors allow tracking of honeybee population reduction. This technology gives access to honeybee cages. They may compare wing movement, temperature, surroundings, and honey yield. By doing so, they can find patterns crucial to real-world bees and colonies.

Floating solar installations: Large-scale solar installations are complex in heavily populated or mountainous areas. Solar systems must back up in countries with limited sunlight by other polluting energy. Floating installations on hydropower dams may be the solution. They utilize new maritime surfaces during the day and hydro electricity by night. For instance, South Korea's floating solar facility can power 60,000 people. Given the global man-made reservoirs, floating solar plants could greatly influence them.

Engaging tree planting: Individuals can plant trees to improve the world's environment. Technology connects eco-conscious consumers and businesses with tree-planting initiatives in deforested areas. Technology makes tree planting accessible, enjoyable, and profitable. TreeTracker uses satellite maps to let tree owners visit their tree's location. The minimal carbon footprint is mitigated by planting more trees.
