Carbon Bombs

Refers to extraction projects (coal mines and oil and gas fields) which generate emissions exceeding a billion tons (1 gigaton) of CO2 during their lifetime. The Leave it in the Ground Initiative (LINGO) has identified 425 carbon bombs, many of which have to be defused to align the with the .

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas found naturally in Earth’s atmosphere. It is also a byproduct of industrial processes and burning . The release of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere is the primary driver of . The rise in average global temperature is directly proportional to concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, measured […]

Carbon Emissions

Usually refers to carbon dioxide (CO2), emitted for example from the combustion of or deforestation. Methane (CH4) emissions are sometimes also referred to as carbon emissions. It is recommended not to consider them interchangeable because this confuses the short-term issue of with the long-term issue of carbon dioxide emissions, which could remain in the atmosphere […]

Carbon Intensive Industry

Industries that generate high levels of , such as aviation, land transport, the cement industry, the steel industry, etc.

Demand-Side Mitigation

Strategies aimed at mitigating the impacts of through avoiding , shifting to new behaviors, and improving the efficiency of technologies. Examples include constructing more energy-efficient buildings, promoting public transportation or cycling instead of cars, reducing food waste, and transitioning to a . Demand-side mitigation alone is insufficient for achieving the 1.5 °C and 2 °C […]

Fossil Endgame

The last years in the age, which is the stage we are currently living in. The use of fossil fuel has already peaked in an increasing number of markets.

Fossil Fuel

Refers to energy materials extracted from the earth and used for burning. The three main fossil fuels are oil, and coal.

Fossil Fuel Subsidy

Financial support provided by the government for , which includes support for extraction – such as tax exemptions and corporate bailouts – as well as support for combustion such as subsidizing selling prices for consumers or factories.

Fossil Gas

A in gaseous form. The term replaces the deceptive term “natural gas”. Fossil gas consists mostly of methane. The fossil gas industry likes to compare gas to coal, since gas produces less CO2 emissions than coal when one considers just the burning process. Of course, they would not make that comparison with renewable energy. Still, […]

Fossil Lock-In

When big investments, for example in infrastructures such as power plants or pipelines, create dependencies that result in difficulties to eliminate , one speaks of fossil lock-in. mechanisms are an example of a legal mechanism that promotes fossil lock-in.
