Germany plans to transition 2,500 to 3,000 of its trains to hydrogen fuel in the coming years.
But, while green initiatives—like planting trees and switching to hydrogen-powered vehicles—can reduce carbon emissions over time, many experts believe the impact of these efforts alone will be too little too late.
According to the Brookings Institution, global greenhouse gas emissions hit 58 gigatons in 2022. That’s the largest amount ever recorded.
It’s well documented that carbon emissions are one of the largest drivers of modern climate change.
In order to directly eliminate some of these emissions, cleantech leaders are using what’s known as carbon capture technology to make immediate progress toward reducing and even reversing emissions.
