Energy consumption is currently responsible for over 75% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because non-renewable choices have continued to dominate global energy reservoirs for a long time. Adopting renewables can change this course and also bring down energy costs enormously.

Renewable energy is derived from natural resources that can be replenished indefinitely without the risk of depletion and harmful emissions. These sources include solar power, wind, hydropower, biomass, and geothermal.
Climate Risk & Economics
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) are two different gases with different chemical compositions, and properties, as well as their effects on the environment and human health.
