can be generated repeatedly.

Domestic

- are domestic sources of energy - supply is abundant and inexhaustible.

Can approximately reduce 10 to 11 million tonnes of carbon dioxide in the future.

Do not produce atmospheric emissions.

Clean

Reduce CO2 emission

Societal Benefits

Improves people's lives

- As long as there is sunshine, solar energy can be deployed anywhere- Useful for remote regions with no access to any other source of electricity- Independent solar systems could be deployed in remote regions- Improve the lives of millions of people.

$ 245M USD

$ 36.1B Euro

1. Enable Industry Growth

Economic Benefits

2. Excites rural areas' economy

Wind power pays landowners $245 million USD in lease payments every year.

The implementation of wind power has an ​annual economic impact of about $36.1 billion Euro on its economy.

3. Create job opportunities

2030

716,000

Economic Benefits

Wind Vision Report: - Wind power has the potential to support more than 716,000 jobs by 2030.

National Solar Jobs Census:- In 2019, jobs in the United States solar industry increased nearly 17 times faster than the overall economy.

HIGH POLLUTING SECTOR:

Animal agriculture

1. Growing crops
2. Feeding & cleaning livestock

Major consumptions of water:

2. Livestock's flatus and belch

Major emissions of GHGs:

25.5 Billion

2. Producing a lot of greenhouse gases

Striving a balance between economic development and environmental conservation

OUR ASPIRATIONS:

Implementation of sustainable agriculture

• Ventilation system connected to an external gas processing system

• Gases emitted by livestock can be collected

• Glass-sealed area for livestock activities

=> Reduce carbon footprints due to transportation

• Crops planted can be used to feed the livestock

• Water used for cleaning livestock's body can be used to irrigate crops

• Water can be recycled within the system

Adopting the Crop-Livestock Integration model &Utilizing the methane gas produced

Hydrogen gas can then be used in the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell

Extract hydrogen gas from methane

Demethanize the collected gas

Recycling factories and their contributions to the environment

criteria 03

Recycling

Our Designs

In SimCity, we have recycling factories build as close to the urban areas as possible, so as to reduce the possible CO2 emissions due to transportation.

in SimCity

Recycling is required for conservation of meager resources. Without mechanisms of recycling, humans can be out of resources one day.

Criteria 05

Nature & Biodiversity Preservation

The biodiversity of a nation depends on its vast wilderness of living species. It also tells how enriched the nation is. The more diverse the nation's ecology is, the better the nation is.

includes the number of different organisms and their relative frequencies in an ecosystem.

* What is biodiversity?*

Biodiversity

Black Rhino has become critically endangered.(according to WorldWildLife)

Habitat fragmentation and deforestation

Climate change

Illegal wildlife trades and poaching

Amur Leopard has become critically endangered.(according to WorldWildLife)

The Hawksbill Turtle has become critically endangered(according to National Geographic)

Intensified pollutions

because of the

environmental degradation

HOWEVER, our world's biodiversity is

shrinking

Criteria 06

noiselevel

In atmospheric sounding and noise pollution, ambient noise level is the background sound pressure level at a given location.

What is the noise level?

why is it important to a gruen city?

1. Helps in giving a silent and peaceful society for the people who reside. 2. High noise levels can have a harmful effect on humans as well as animals, such as:- cardiovascular effects- coronary artery diseases
