Energy usage for industry is 24%
Road travel is 11%
It seems aviation’s 2% is not the low hanging fruit.
There is no low hanging fruit. We need to address every sector. No individual solution is going to cut more than a few percent of total carbon emissions.
A buddy of mine worked for a startup a few years ago that promised to go into large plants and do some trickery with the harmonic losses with the very large AC motors in a lot of the big equipment. Apparently there is a lot of losses in such things. They would install equipment to improve the situation in exchange for a portion of the energy savings over time, which was considerable.
Is the same solution that cuts down on carbon emissions in making steel going to cut emissions when making fertilizer?
