What are Green Technologies?

 

If there’s one thing that is certain in today’s world, it’s the pressing need for technological advancements that promote sustainability and protect our planet. With environmental issues becoming more prevalent, the demand for green technology innovation is increasing rapidly. 

Fortunately, brilliant minds are stepping up to the challenge and developing groundbreaking solutions to tackle these problems head-on. In this article, we will explore the green technology innovations that are revolutionizing our lives and paving the way for a more sustainable future. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Green Technology, also known as clean technologies or environmental technologies, refer to a range of products, techniques, and processes designed to provide sustainable solutions while minimizing the negative environmental impact. 

It can be eco-friendly in how it’s made or supplied. Green tech can also mean using clean energy sources, like solar or wind power, or using fuels that are better for the environment than traditional ones. Overall, it’s about finding ways to protect the planet and reduce harm to nature.

1. Solar Desalination

70% of our planet is covered by water. Unfortunately, we can only use a very small fraction of it. This is because most of it is salt water, which we cannot drink or use for industrial processes like agriculture.

Now, just imagine how the world would look like if we were able to use all of that water by sustainably making fresh water out of salt water. Just imagine how many of the world’s problems this would solve!

Solar desalination aims to do exactly that! And that’s why it’s in this list of the top 10 example of green innovation.

By using solar energy to desalinate salt water, solar desalination is already and can become an even larger-scale solution to solving water shortages, desertification, and hunger. Companies like Elemental Water Markers are already running solar desalination projects worldwide to supply affordable, safe, reliable, and fossil-free water to those people who need it the most.

Of course, as good as this is, we should not forget about ways to save water, too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.Nuclear energy technology

Although controversial based on its potential to disrupt cities (an example being the Chernobyl nuclear reactor), technology is being developed to make the most of nuclear materials to produce clean energy at scale. Current technicians are only able to utilise uranium supplies to around 1% of their full potential, making nuclear a contender for widespread green energy.
