Energy supply

  • Individual energy use and carbon footprints:
    • Reducing personal energy use (e.g. turning off lights, using energyefficient appliances).
    • Using public transport, cycling, or electric vehicles to reduce emissions.
    • Adopting renewable energy sources (e.g. solar panels at home).
  • Energy conservation:
    • Designing homes, workplaces, and transport for sustainability
    • Insulating buildings to reduce heating and cooling needs.
    • Using renewable energy systems (e.g. solar panels, heat pumps).
    • Designing energy-efficient public transport systems.
  • Demand reduction: 
    • Encouraging energy-saving habits (e.g. shorter showers, turning off devices).
    • Smart meters to monitor and reduce energy use.
  • Use of technology to increase efficiency in fossil fuels:
    • Carbon capture and storage (CCS) to reduce emissions.
    • More efficient power plants and vehicles.
