Solar Energy
Due to destructive environmental consequences carbon-based energy systems should slowly be replaced by sources with low to zero carbon dioxide emissions such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power.

Nanotechnology can revolutionize the production of materials and offer ecological solutions but it may have unexpected consequences or lead to mismanagement.
The atmosphere can hold up to 1,500 billion tons of carbon dioxide and still keep global warming under 2°C; the consequences become uncontrollable once this limit is breached.
Paul Gillen explores the role of conscious human agency leading up to the Anthropocene, suggesting that the development of sentience in the Phanerozoic eon exerted an influence on the interaction of minerals and life.
Jan Zalasiewicz presents the mounting evidence of the Anthropocene as a proposed geological epoch and points to the possible trajectories of planet Earth.
In this chapter from the virtual exhibition “Global Environments: A 360º Visual Journey,” Jeroen Oomen and Adam Sébire delve into the world of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies through a video triptych in Hellisheiði in Iceland. The three screens, shown here in one video, capture experiments at Hellishei∂i, aspects of the sequestered CO2, and an imagined future.
