What type of technology might be used to build a low-carbon economy?

Let's get big: the production of energy and cars that run on fossil fuels are the main causes of carbon emissions.

In the end, what we want is * nuclear fusion (not to be confused with nuclear fission)*, which is powerful, clean, safe, and may produce zero nuclear waste. Currently, many countries rely on burning fossil fuels for energy. A few candidates to replace such reliance are wind turbines and hydroelectricity. Particularly, wind energy is evident in European countries.

But a large portion of the world's energy and exports still come from fossil fuels; switching to green and renewable energy will undoubtedly cause some economic unrest in some of these nations, which is why many politicians are reluctant to adopt green technologies.

In addition to producing electricity, researchers are working feverishly to discover high temperature superconductors (hts), which will simplify and optimize electrical transmission. A significant amount of energy is lost during the transmission of energy from power generators to homes; the discovery of hts will reverse all of that.

In terms of automobiles, Tesla Motors is our greatest option for electric vehicles.

In addition, any kind of research aimed at minimizing energy waste or maximizing the use of wasted energy is considered green technology. For example, windows with thin film technology can reflect part of the infrared spectrum, reducing heat transfer into buildings; large-scale biomass pyrolysis can act as carbon sinks, preventing carbon emissions into the atmosphere; and creative agricultural waste management can significantly reduce the needless release of methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

In summary, a country needs to conduct extensive research and adopt green technology in a proactive manner in order to have a low-carbon economy.
