An example of new technology having a positive impact on sustainability is the development and use of electric vehicles (EVs). Electric vehicles play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions compared to traditional fossil fuel- powered cars. As the energy mix shifts towards renewable sources, the environmental impact of running EVs will continue to decrease. Additionally, the recycling of EV batteries contributes to sustainability by preventing waste and supporting a closed-loop recycling system. Other notable examples include:
- 5G technology enabling remote work, which reduces the need for commuting and decreases carbon emissions.
- AI-integrated sensors for environmental monitoring and energy optimization.
- Blockchain technology supporting secure carbon trading to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Advanced technologies like Solar Glass that turn buildings into renewable energy sources.
These innovations collectively demonstrate how technology can both reduce environmental harm and accelerate efforts towards a sustainable future.
