The Industrial Catalyst

"Mining is responsible for 7% of subtropical deforestation." — Global Forest Atlas

Fossil Fuels

The combustion process to provide energy causes a drastic release of carbon dioxide.

Mining

Methane trapped in coal seams is released during extraction and in underground mines.

CFC Gases

Refrigerants released from old leaking refrigerators and air conditioners.

Volcanoes

A single eruption releases massive amounts of CO2 and ash into the atmosphere.

Core Mitigation Strategies

Energy Decarbonization

Transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable sources like solar, wind, and geothermal.
