The Low Carbon Economy seeks to reduce the carbon footprint of economic processes by minimizing the emission of greenhouse gases. With the growing awareness of environmental issues, new technologies are emerging in areas such as automation, mobility, energy efficiency and sustainability, and are influencing the direction of financial, productive and consumer markets.
The transition to a Low Carbon Economy is seen as a technological evolution, as well as a response to environmental concerns. Leading countries such as China, the European Union, India and Brazil, signatories of the Paris Agreement, are investing in key technologies, which is changing consumption expectations and stimulating new ways of using renewable and non-renewable resources. In the coming years, an expansion of connectivity and energy efficiency is expected, enabling access to technologies such as automation, solar and wind power generation, in addition to energy storage. These technologies will be available in a wide range of equipment, such as devices for communication, generation, control, protection, conversion and storage of electrical energy.
Technologies that promote sustainability are those that seek to minimize the environmental impact and ensure the preservation of natural resources for future generations. Some of these technologies include renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and hydropower, as well as energy efficient systems such as automation and energy storage.
Automation technology is an important tool for the efficient management of energy resources, enabling remote monitoring and regulation of electrical, air conditioning and lighting systems. The generation of solar and wind energy contributes to the reduction of dependence on fossil energy sources, such as oil and natural gas, sources of greenhouse gas emissions.
Another important technology is energy storage, which allows flexible management of renewable energy generation, increasing its availability and ensuring its use in times of demand. In addition, the technology used in recycling and reuse of materials – called reverse economy – is fundamental for the preservation of natural resources, reducing the extraction of raw materials and the generation of waste.
Technologies that promote sustainability are essential to ensure the preservation of natural resources and minimize the environmental impact, providing a more efficient and responsible economy.
