Humankind is moving towards green tech to fight against the emerging environmental challenges

Climate change and global warming are more than just reality, they are a threat. While governments are busy making promises to turn the world carbon-free in the next 20 to 30 years, climate activists like Greta Thunberg and David Attenborough are crying to seek remedies. Thankfully, people are becoming more aware of the world our next generation will lead if we take no steps. Henceforth, humankind is moving towards green tech to fight against the emerging environmental crisis.

 The environmental threat is a story that keeps the ‘to be continued’ mark everywhere. As humans became greedy and wanted sophistication, they went against earthly means to protect nature. Nowadays, industries consume more energy than what is essential and lead the world towards pollution. Besides, many environmental damages are already done to society, making green tech mandatory at this point. Engineers and scientists around the world are developing technological solutions aimed at reducing and eliminating everything that causes global warming and climate change. Even though the concept of green tech has been around for a while, it saw adoption and strict implementation only when people and governments became aware of the globe’s situation. Green tech aims to protect the environment and in some cases, to even repair past damages done to nature. Global initiatives like the Paris Climate Accord’ are also paving a united way to embrace green tech initiatives.

All about Green Tech

Green tech is the umbrella term used to represent the development and application of products, equipment, and systems used to conserve the natural environment and resources, which minimizes and reduces the negative impacts on human activities. In a nutshell, green tech refers to the type of technology that is considered environment-friendly based on its production process or its supply chain. The field of green tech’ encompasses a continuously evolving group of methods and materials, from techniques for generating energy to non-toxic cleaning products. Even though the green tech market is comparatively young, it has attracted a significant amount of investors due to increasing awareness and interest in climate change. The global green tech and sustainability market size was valued at US$11.2 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow to US$36.6 billion by 2025 with a CAGR of 26.6% during the forecast period. 

Green tech initiatives

Recycling waste and water: Recycling is a process that the world lacked for a long time. Since we had the luxury of getting whatever we wanted for a long time, we forgot the concept of recycling and using old products and resources. But the global crisis has pushed us to think otherwise. Today, green tech is being used for recycling processes. People are starting to recycle water and waste products which could serve one more or many more times. Recyclable materials can be used when manufacturing plastics, fertilizer, and fuel. 

Eliminating industrial emission: Industries is one of the biggest contributors to air pollutions. They ruin the green house effect module. They emit methane and carbon dioxide that harms the environment. Fortunately, with the help of green tech, industries such as chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, automotive, etc can eliminate their emission so as not to cause environmental damage. 

Green building: The construction sector is seeing a shift with the intrusion of green building concept. In the evolving world, many people want their homes to be built in an eco-friendly manner with environmental-friendly materials. Houses are also emerging to be energy efficient in order to avoid the loss of heat so that people can save resources and money related to heating. Automatic vertical gardening outside the building walls is also taking center stage in the decade.
