Fossil fuels – world cannot wait for alternative energy sources

The world cannot wait for alternative fuel sources and needs to take action now to cut the impact of fossil fuels, a leading international fuel tech company said recently.

New analysis has revealed that human fossil fuel emissions are threatening the key 1.5C climate threshold twice as quickly as previously thought.

Researchers say the limit could be continually breached as early as 2029, rather than the mid 2030’s. A key factor in the shift has been record emissions of carbon dioxide over the past three years, scientists say.

The 1.5C rise in global temperatures is a central part of the 2015 Paris climate agreement, where world leaders pledged to keep the rise well below 2C while making every effort to keep the increase below 1.5C this century.

Ben Richardson, of SulNOx Group Plc, which specialises in reducing the impact of fossil fuels, said: “This year we have seen global temperature records tumble, extreme weather events and lives and livelihoods threatened,” said Ben. “Many developing technologies are still years away from large-scale implementation, and at the COP28 climate summit at the end of November we are likely to hear more arguments about the phaseout of fossil fuels.

“The simple truth is, fossil fuels are not going away anytime soon, so as well as developing alternative sources of energy, governments and big business should be examining how they can reduce the impact of the fossil fuels they use.”

SulNOx Group PLC, which operates in 29 countries around the world, specialises in natural, biodegradable fuel products that have been shown in independent tests to significantly increasing fuel efficiencies by is delighted to be supporting SP Energy Networks to take a Whole Systems approach to accelerating Net Zero. Through the strategic partnership we will understand the challenges and opportunities being faced by Network Operators as they transition to a strategic role, facilitating new markets to actively manage the network.

“Energy Systems Catapult has a unique position, bridging the gap between academia, industry and government which enables us to bring cutting edge thinking and innovation best practice to bear on challenges being faced by SP Energy Networks.

“Whole System thinking allows us to uncover how changes in individual elements of the energy system, or the connections between them, will impact the broader system dynamics. Ensuring plans for evolving the future energy system to Net Zero will unlock opportunities and investments that accelerate the transformation of the UK’s energy system, to reduce carbon emissions, rapidly, in the most efficient and costeffective way.” https://es.catapult.org.uk/ around 8% across widely used hydrocarbon liquid fuels including diesel, petrol and biofuels while also re-ducing CO2 emissions and other harmful pollutants such as fine particulate matter, a leading cause of lung disease and other respiratory illnesses.

“The importance of increasing efficiencies and reducing the impact of fossil fuels has never been greater,” said Ben. “There are immediate, cost-effective and sustainable solutions available which should realistically dominate transportation and other sectors in the short to medium term whilst we await the longer-term green solutions.” https://sulnoxgroup.com/
