Climate Change Technology Solutions

There are many climate technology solutions currently available or are on the horizon.

To be ready to meet the challenges of climate change in a way that will benefit Ohio’s economy, we need to envision how technologies that we are familiar with today can help us to reduce greenhouse gases and give us other environmental and public health benefits.

Together, the OEC's Ohio Climate Road Map Part One and Part Two discuss of how technology solutions and policy and market actions can provide Ohio with an important start down the road toward climate stabilization.

OEC's Climate Road Map, Part One
	Part One (pdf) proposes the road to a stable climate by analyzing emission reduction targets and how Ohio’s manufacturing, agriculture, and coal industries could fit in. This report covers emerging ideas with payoff potential, such as charcoal fertilizer (bio char), and highlights businesses in Ohio that are preparing for climate change.

OEC's Climate Road Map, Part Two

Part Two (PDF) emphasizes that Ohio industry is well positioned to be a major supplier of the technology necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The report covers the roles of diesel cleanup, methane reduction, and nitrous oxide, as well as carbon dioxide reduction. By delving into the electric power, transportation, and heating/industrial sectors, the OEC lays out some practical technology solutions.
