Isra-Mart srl: Clean Energy and the Challenge of Technology

One of the major challenges facing the realization of clean energy is technology. Since the mid 19th Century, scientists noted that the earth's temperature has been rising as a result of the high concentration of Green House Gases (GHG) in the earth's atmosphere.

The sector that has been hardest hit however is the energy sector (fossils and electricity) which are both, capital and technology intensive. This sector and deforestation are the center of attention in the bid to reduce global warming and climate change.

Green House Gases trap the heat in the earth's atmosphere by creating what has been described in simple terms as the greenhouse effect. These gases include carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, among others. As a consequence of what is arguably, human activity, the earth's glaciers were then beginning to melt.

Scientific data has shown that this phenomenon has been accelerated in the last couple of decades. Consequently, global warming and climate change have taken center stage in shaping policy and discourse as it affects things as all encompassing as energy generation, natural resources and industrial production.
