𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀 In the journey toward net-zero emissions, carbon offsets play a pivotal role in balancing the scales. Here's a quick dive into the two primary types of carbon offsets: 𝟭. 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 - 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗹: 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Afforestation projects that absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere, creating carbon sinks. 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) that captures CO₂ directly from industrial processes or the air and stores it underground, effectively removing it from the atmosphere. 𝟮. 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 - 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Renewable energy projects (like solar, wind) replace fossil fuel-based power, preventing emissions. Methane capture initiatives in landfills or agriculture prevent potent greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere. Balancing emissions with innovative projects is key to driving a sustainable future.

𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 (𝐂𝐂𝐒): 𝐀 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 CCS has the potential to capture up to 90% of the CO2 emissions produced from the use of fossil fuels in electricity generation and industrial processes. With over 35 commercial CCS facilities operating worldwide, this technology is already preventing around 40 million metric tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere annually—a significant contribution, yet just a fraction of its potential. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), to meet global climate targets, CCS needs to account for 15% of the cumulative emissions reductions by 2070. This would require the capture and storage of approximately 7.6 billion metric tons of CO2 each year by 2050. Scaling up CCS is crucial, but it’s only part of the solution. Combining CCS with aggressive renewable energy expansion and energy efficiency improvements can help us reach net-zero emissions and secure a sustainable future for all. #Climate #energy #ikshanh #Carbon #ClimateChange #Sustainability #CarbonCapture #CCS #NetZero #Environment #Innovation #CleanEnergy #GreenTech #ClimateAction #SustainableDevelopment #RenewableEnergy #TechForGood #FutureOfEnergy #ClimateSolutions #EnergyTransition #GreenEconomy #CleanTech #Innovation #GlobalGoals #Decarbonization

Combating Climate change

It's not just about renewable fuel—it's also about the technology behind it, the electricity required, and where that electricity comes from. Does it have a negative carbon intensity score? Are emissions being reduced beyond the fuel? At Raven SR, our Steam/CO2 Reforming technology is not only efficient, but uses a third of the power compared to competing technologies, and can operate independently of the grid. Our non-combustion technology results in minimal emissions, and we actively reduce emissions from landfill gas and waste. Plus, we don't use fresh water, a critical resource in many regions. We're proud to contribute to a cleaner Earth and cleaner air, all while producing renewable fuels. #internationalcleanairday #hydrogen #saf #todayswastetomorrowsfuel #renewablefuels

Curious about how carbon offset projects actually work? Carbon offsets are created through projects like renewable energy 🌞, reforestation 🌳, and methane capture ♻️. These projects reduce or capture emissions, and the impact is verified and certified. ✅ Once verified, these reductions are available as carbon credits that can be purchased to balance out your own emissions. After purchase, these offsets are retired to prevent double counting. 🛑 Want to know more or start offsetting your carbon footprint?

🌍 Decarbonization is the Future. But How Do We Get There? 🌍 Achieving a net-zero future requires bold, simultaneous action across four critical transitions: 1️⃣ Boost Energy Efficiency – Making every unit of energy count by maximizing efficiency in all sectors, from industrial processes to everyday consumer activities. 2️⃣ Shift to Low-Carbon Power – Moving away from thermal power generation to renewable sources like wind 🌬️ and solar 🌞, which are key to powering our future cleanly. 3️⃣ Electrify Everything – Transforming sectors reliant on fossil fuels (like road transport 🚗 and building heating 🏠) by switching to electric power and harnessing renewable energy sources. 4️⃣ Innovate for Hard-to-Electrify Sectors – Developing alternatives like hydrogen 💧 and bioenergy 🌱 for sectors like cement, steel, and aviation ✈️, where direct electrification isn’t an option. Decarbonization is not just a goal; it’s a journey that demands collaboration, innovation, and commitment from everyone. Whether you’re in policy, technology, or business, this transformation starts with you. Let’s work together to create a sustainable and resilient future! 🌱 #Decarbonization #NetZero #CleanEnergy #EnergyEfficiency #Sustainability #ClimateAction #GreenInnovation #RenewableEnergy #HydrogenEconomy #CircularEconomy

Carbon Offsetting is a popular tool used by businesses to reduce the impact of their carbon emissions. But have you heard about Carbon Insetting? Carbon Insets refer to actions taken within a company’s operations to minimize or eliminate carbon emissions. These actions involve investing in projects or implementing changes directly related to the company’s activities. For instance, improving energy efficiency in manufacturing processes or transitioning to renewable energy sources are examples of Carbon Insets. Companies can adopt an integrated approach towards emission reduction by focusing on their operations. Learn more about both options and how they can help your businesses in our article: Navigating the Climate Challenge: Carbon Offsets vs. Carbon Insets https://hubs.la/Q02k48xT0 #sustainability #buisnessdevelopment #carbonfootprint #carbonremoval #improvement #facilitymanagement
