Climate Change Mitigation (CCM)
CCM
strategies are strategies to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases
from human activities, thereby reducing or completely eliminating
the human-induced climate change component and and slow down
global warming.
CCM
reduces or avoids greenhouse gas emissions
by adopting alternative approaches to the approaches causing the
proliferation of the greenhouse gases. New and sustainable energy sources
that produce little or no greenhouse gases will have to be developed to
mitigate the growing effects of climate change.
Typical Mitigation efforts/projects include:
-
Renewable energy projects such as Wind Power,
Hydropower, Biomass;
-
End-use energy efficiency improvements;
-
supply-side energy efficiency improvements;
-
Fuel Switching projects;
-
Reduction of industrial emissions (CO2 from Cement,
HFCs, PFCs, SF6)
-
Methane capture and re-use from coal mines,
landfills and industrial wastewater;
-
Afforestation/reforestations
