A significant focus of research and application related to clean energies is to reduce the negative effects of fossil fuels that are contaminating our planet (via their by- products) and rapidly consuming our natural resources. Any factor that can assist “clean-energy-based strategies” has to be seriously considered.

This is a direct result of excessive greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), and the exploitation of natural resources for capitalistic gain. This can happen naturally, as growing trees and plants turn CO2 into biomass—this is the foundational premise of Natural Climate Solutions.
