Bill Gates’ Proposal “Challenge Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2050”

Microsoft founder Bill Gates has come up with a realistic yet viable plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The new book, How to Avoid Climate Disaster, is the first book in 20 years after Bill Gates devoted himself to public service.

Bill Gates insisted that greenhouse gases must be eliminated to prevent climate catastrophe. “We have a duty to provide more energy so that the poor can become self-reliant, but that energy must be provided in a way that no longer emits greenhouse gases,” he said. I am convinced that I will achieve it.”

Greenhouse gases increase the temperature of the Earth’s surface by absorbing or reflecting infrared radiation radiating from the Earth’s surface to space. Greenhouse gas loans are gases generated artificially, such as carbon dioxide generated by excessive use of fossil fuels.

Gates introduces renewable energy technologies already applied, such as solar and wind power, and finds ways to use these technologies more efficiently. Much of the book is devoted to explaining the innovations needed to develop and launch breakthrough technologies.

These include making cement using seawater and carbon dioxide captured from power plants, or making steel using clean electricity instead of coal. Molten oxide electrolysis is a method of applying electrical stimulation to a liquid iron oxide mixture instead of melting iron in a furnace. Through this process, the iron oxide is split without generating carbon dioxide, leaving only pure iron, a material of steel, and oxygen, a by-product.

Gates said the government’s environmental policy should go toward motivating people to create competitive zero-carbon alternatives rather than punishing people for greenhouse gas emissions. “We need to gradually raise the price of carbon-intensive products to encourage producers and consumers to make better decisions.” Expected.

He also insisted on introducing a radical decarbonization policy by 2050. He also said that the decarbonization policy is completely different from the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. This is because the work to be done to reduce greenhouse gases is fundamentally different from the work to be done to achieve zero by 2050.
