What are the low-carbon production technologies?

"Low carbon production technology" is an economy based on low energy consumption and low pollution. Under the background of global climate change, "low-carbon economy" and "low-carbon technology" have attracted more and more attention from all countries in the world. Low-carbon technology involves electric power, transportation, construction, metallurgy, chemical industry, petrochemical and other departments, as well as new technologies developed in the fields of renewable energy and new energy, clean and efficient utilization of coal, exploration and development of oil and gas resources and coalbed methane, and carbon dioxide capture and storage, so as to effectively control greenhouse gas emissions.

Low-carbon technologies can be divided into three categories: the first category is carbon reduction technology, which refers to energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies in the fields of high energy consumption and high emission, clean and efficient utilization technology of coal, exploration and development technology of oil and gas resources and coalbed methane, etc. The second category is carbon-free technologies, such as renewable energy technologies such as nuclear energy, solar energy, wind energy and biomass energy. In the past 10 years, global solar's battery output increased by 38% annually, exceeding the IT industry. During the financial crisis in 2008, the installed capacity of global wind power increased by 28.8% against the trend. The third category is carbon removal technology, typically carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS).
