That’s a lot of cash, right? However will we pay for all that? With savings, people - or deferred costs. Total cost if all were fully implemented? $27.4 trillion. Wind Turbines (Onshore) - 84.60 gigatons.Here are the other 9 items on the Top 10 list and their carbon reduction potential: The authors estimate that this one area could keep nearly 90 gigatons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. #1 is something we have touched on here only briefly - refrigerant management. That is critically important, of course, but would you care to guess what the one area is that we as a people have total control over and that has the potential to keep more carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere than making every car and truck on the planet run on electricity? We here at CleanTechnica, we focus heavily on the electrification of the transportation sector. What I found most remarkable about the book begins on page 222 - Summary Of Solutions By Overall Ranking. The science behind each one is extensively footnoted so anyone who wants to can go to the source. Suffice to say, if you are interested in how humans can address climate change in an effective way, Drawdown is a must-read book.Įvery aspect of every idea is explored in detail. All solutions modeled are already in place, well understood, analyzed based on peer-reviewed science, and are expanding around the world.”Īt 240 pages in length, this review cannot delve into each nook and cranny of the environmental toolkit proposed by the authors. The goal of the research that informs Drawdown is to determine if we can reverse the buildup of atmospheric carbon within thirty years. For each solution, we describe its history, the carbon impact it provides, the relative cost and savings, the path to adoption, and how it works. Maps, Measures, & ModelsĮdited by Paul Hawken, the book “maps, measures, models, and describes the 100 most substantive solutions to global warming. Drawdown is the nuts and bolts guide to implementing those goals. The Paris climate change protocols set out the lofty goals agreed to by all of the world’s governments except two in December of 2015. This post about the book Drawdown was first published on Gas2.ĭrawdown is a compendium of every idea known to humanity at the present time that can slow or reverse the devastation of climate change.
