Technologies have a critical role in the global goal of keeping climate change under control. One major way they do this is by helping reduce the gases causing our planet to warm up. For instance, clean energy technologies such as solar and wind technologies havelifecycle emissions than electricity from a coal-fired power plant. Simply put, this lower number means that if renewables power your home, you can use the same amount of electricity and cause 20 times less harm to the planet.
These clean energy technologies must be rolled out on a larger scale in different parts of the world to realize their full potential. Over the past year, the International Energy Agency has released a series of useful reports to assess the status and identify gaps. Based on these reports, it is useful to present a synopsis of these technologies and assess the gaps that need to be addressed to scale them up.
