Around the world, innovative climate technologies are being deployed to slow the pace of global warming. Real-world case studies highlight how nations, industries, and communities are implementing practical solutions that cut emissions, increase efficiency, and protect the environment. These examples showcase the technologies making an impact today while offering insights into potential future innovations.
Norway has been leading carbon capture and storage (CCS) since the 1990s. The Sleipner project has stored millions of tonnes of CO2 beneath the North Sea, proving the viability of large-scale storage as a climate solution. For global insights on CCS, see Global CCS Institute.
With the ambitious International Solar Alliance, India has expanded its renewable energy capacity, setting an example of how emerging economies can accelerate clean energy adoption while supporting growth.
Climeworks and Carbfix have partnered in Iceland to remove CO2 directly from the atmosphere and mineralize it underground, pioneering permanent carbon removal at scale.
China has deployed millions of electric vehicles (EVs) and built the world's largest EV charging infrastructure, reducing emissions from transportation while shaping the global auto industry.
