Sustainable Technology: Innovations Driving a Greener Future
Climate tech is booming, driven by startups and corporate pledges. In 2023, Climeworks launched Mammoth, a plant capturing 36,000 tons of CO₂ yearly using geothermal energy. Green hydrogen is gaining traction too; companies like Plug Power are building electrolyzers to replace fossil fuels in industries.
Circular economy tech is also rising. Apple’s Daisy robot disassembles iPhones to recover materials, while startups like Carbios use enzymes to recycle polyester. Even AI helps—Google’s DeepMind predicts wind patterns to optimize renewable energy.
Yet, scaling remains tough. Carbon capture is expensive, and e-waste is at an all-time high. The key? Collaboration between governments, companies, and consumers to fund and adopt green tech.
