Mitigation of CO2 emissions requires a modernization of fossil-fuel based industry and processes. Fossil-fuel based carbon abatement technologies enable fossil fuels to be used with substantially reduced CO2 emissions. One possible way is via Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). CCS is a combination of technologies designed to prevent the release of CO2 generated through conventional power generation and industrial production processes by injecting the CO2 in suitable underground storage reservoirs. The CTCN and its network members enable countries to increase carbon fixation and abatement through CCS, more efficient conversion processes, fuel switching and other established and innovative technologies. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.
Ghana’s building and construction industry does not meet the sustainability nor the green demand, affecting economic output and long-term development prospects.
Currently, there exist 20 coal-fired power plants in operation with a total capacity of nearly 14,500 MW, which generate about 15.7 million tons of coal slag per year, of which coal ash accounts for 75%. It is predicted that by the year 2020, there will be 43 factories, which will generate more than 30 million tons of coal slag per year. At present, there are no suitable solutions for this huge amount of slag.
Nationally Determined Contribution to improve the energy efficiency of technologies and processes in the industrial sector.
According to the World Bank, Nigeria emitted 96.3 million tonnes (Mt) of CO2 in 2014. Nigeria also has significant methane emissions that corresponded the global warming potential of 89.8 Mt CO2 (CO2e) in 2012.
We envision enabling the development of an impact economy driven by conscious consumerism. Our data- and technology-driven concepts aim to bring new insights into the process of creating awareness, from shifts in individual consumption behaviors to systemic change. The open standards, methodologies, and data concepts we establish, in collaboration with our scientific and industry partners, serve the common good of our society. We are an independent non-profit organisation owned by the ecolytiq GmbH, Berlin.

Busan, South Korea - the CTCN together with the Green Energy Institute (GEI), Korea, and in partnership with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), USA, have just concluded the first of a series of regional capacity building activities focusing on Green Hydrogen for energy system transformation.
As nations increasingly move towards net zero emission targets, the utilization of green hydrogen has gained traction due to its significant potential to decarbonize various sectors and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Artificial Intelligence for Climate Action: an initiative by the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism towards achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement
The UNFCCC Technology Mechanism is setting in motion an initiative to explore the potential role of artificial intelligence as a powerful technological tool in advancing and scaling up transformative climate solutions for mitigation, adaptation, and resilience, particularly for the most vulnerable communities.
Nigeria - ColdHubs is supplying smallholder farmers with walk-in coldrooms using a pay-as-you-store model. This 100% solar-powered innovation is reducing food waste, increasing smallholder farmers' climate resilience, and empowering women retailers.
