Solar Energy and Net Zero Emission 2050

Abstract

The conventional sources of energy including Oil and gas significantly contribute in meeting global energy needs. In recent years, the industry has been moving towards implementation of green energy to achieve Net Zero Emission (NZE) 2050 goals. Governments and corporations across globe have started large-scale initiatives to deploy advanced technologies to reduce carbon footprints and prevent global warming.

Currently, engineers and scientists are working on sustainable energy solutions influenced by climate change. The general trend in energy research is based on green energy resources, amongst which solar energy stands out as a viable option, being the most environmentally friendly clean energy technology, reduces carbon footprints, prevents global warming and is freely available in abundance in most parts of the globe.

This paper highlights solar energy as a viable option and focuses on its role to provide sustainable clean energy and in the process reduce carbon footprints and prevent global warming.
