LOW-CARBON TECHNOLOGY (LCT)

Low-carbon technology is the key to low-carbon economic development, and it can reduce carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere. LCTs are less polluting than carbon intensive technologies and therefore their adoption will be needed for mass decarbonisation.

Classification:

• Carbon Reduction Technology (Energy-saving technology) • Carbon-free Technology (Nuclear energy, Solar Energy, Wind Energy) • Carbon Removal Technology (Collecting, Burying, Utilise Carbon Dioxide) • Carbon Management Technology • Resource Conservation and Recycling Technology

Low-carbon technology aims to bring down the concentration of greenhouse gases to a relatively stable level.

Sustainability: Not harming to the environment and the interest of the future. Efficient: Improvement of energy efficiency leads to improvement of carbon productive forces. International: Each country in the world attaches importance to low-carbon technology development and solving energy shortage and global warming problems.
