Introduction



Technology




Problems

• Global Warming

• GHG emissions

• Desertification• Acid Rain

• Land Loss

• …



Solution!

Renewable Energy Sources

+

Low Carbon Society

• Efficient homes (Isolating material,solar water

heating, smart homes…)• Minimization of Carbon emissions in all

sectors

Renewable Energy

NOT EFFICIENT



R&D Needed!

• Thin Solar Panels (TIT & Companies)

•

Nuclear Fusion ( vs Nuclear Fission)• Needs more research

• Transport

– Hybrid Cars

– EV Needs Infrastructure

– Fuel Cell Cars Needs Development

BUT NOTHING OF THIS IS POSSIBLE WITHOUT

AWARENESS+

CONSCIOUSNESS



Economy



Japan• The ECO point system:

- To promote people to buy economical friendly electricalproducts by giving some points.

+Environmental friendly.

Economic stimulation.

- The system is complicated.




Austria• Biomass:

-A renewable energy source.

- is biological material derived

from living organisms.

+ Reduces CO2 –emissions.

Biomass “grows back”.

Creation of new jobs.

-Impact on the price of goods like corn.

Alternative, not a solution.




Taiwan• Giant(a bicycle company):

-Promote of riding bicycle.

-Donating the bicycle.

-Founding a foundation.

+ Lower emission.

Healthy.

Connection between government and company.

- Dangerous.

Roads construction and law is not completely.

How the New Low-Carbon Society works?




Community

EconomyInformation

Government Business

People




Communities• Major impact on CO2 emissions

– Housing

– Transportation

– Food / nutrition

– Energy used by industry = 1/3 of CO2 emissions in industrialized nations

– Nature = CO2 sink that absorbs emissions

• Key players in a community

–

Government – Businesses

– Citizens / people

Count for 75% of CO2 emissions in

households




Example’s of Low-Carbon Society

Sakai City, Japan

・Creation of Community Bicycle System

・Conclude an accord with Businesses

・Network expanding Light Rail Transit

・Putting ideas of students




Carbon Neutral Municipalities-

project, Finland• Initiated by two company CEOs

• Five Finnish municipalities act to reduce local CO2 emissions moreextensively and rapidly than EU targets and schedules require

• Create a win-win situation based on solutions that have botheconomic and social benefits as well as environmental advantages

• Funding: – The Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation (200 000€)

– Companies (115 000€)

– Finnish Environment Institute (50 000€)

• Participants: – municipal authorities, business representatives, local residents,

research institutes and experts

• Create a window to showcase Finnish knowhow
