Decarbonization

Decarbonization involves transforming sectors such as energy, transport, and industry, gradually decreasing their dependence on fossil fuels. This process is essential for meeting the climate goals of the Paris Agreement and limiting global warming to below 1.5°C.

Main strategies:

• Energy transition: Replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro…).
• Energy efficiency: Reducing consumption through more efficient technologies and practices.
• Electric mobility: Electrification of transportation and improvement of public transport.
• Carbon capture and storage (CCS): Technologies that capture CO₂ for storage or reuse.
• Nature-based solutions: Reforestation, ecosystem conservation, and soil restoration as natural sinks.
  
  

Current challenges:
Although many initiatives are underway, emissions increased by 1% in Spain in 2024, mainly due to transportation. This reflects the urgency of accelerating more ambitious and effective measures.

Decarbonization is not only an environmental goal, but also an economic opportunity to innovate, create jobs, and lead the transition to a low-carbon production model. At airCO2 , we help organizations on this path with tools to measure, reduce, and communicate their climate progress.
