Exploring The New Horizons

  As per an article published in DW, in order to archive zero carbon emission policy by 2035, Germany has taken a way forward. In year 2020, 50.5 % of electricity production was based on renewable sources of energy.  27% part of total electric production came from wind energy,10% part came from the solar contribution, 9% from the biomass and 4% from hydropower, 13% from nuclear enegry 12% from natural gas and 24 % form coal. All these is due to a good governance policies which brings this magnificent results and expect to grow more in recent futures. 

  In a recent report published in DW, now the people of Norway are preferring electric car over conventional petrol and diesel cars. The country has set a milestone of totally removing all the conventional type cars by 2025. Approximately 54.3% of total cars that were bought in the year 2020 were the electric one. In 2019 this data was on 42.4% which clearly shows the recent increase in Battery operated electric vehicles usage. This interest among the people has caught attention to many car manufacturing company such as Ford, Tesla, Audi, BMW etc and these companies are launching their electric vehicles in the country. The car distributors has expected this tread will further increase in 2021 and so on and in this way by 2025 the country will become totally free from the conventional diesel and petrol based cars.

According to a report published in DW, this year (2020) experiences a sharp decreasing trend of  carbon emission. The credit goes to lockdown imposed due to tackle noble corona virus (COVID19), which resulted in checking the traffic and industrial output, which resulted in a sharp decrease of carbon emission. Experts said that factories, transportation, aviation sectors are the major factors which causes huge pollution to the environment. Due to lockdown the pollution caused by these factors are totally checked. But when the total restriction will be lifted the situation will again return to same place. So only lockdown is not the only solution to the global climate change. It can act as temporary solutions but for a permanent it the duty of every citizen to work for it, such as work form home culture should be encouraged, limiting the usage of transportation,  using plastic free resources, encouraging the green energy platforms and minimizing the carbon footprint of every individual.
