What is Green Technology?
Green technology, or “green tech,” means using science and inventions to make things better for the environment. This includes creating energy without hurting nature, recycling materials, and reducing pollution.
Asia’s Big Steps Forward 🏃♂️🌱
Recently, at the Boao Forum for Asia 2025, a special report called “Addressing Climate Change: Asia Going Green” was shared. It tells us that Asia is becoming a leader in cool new green tech like:
- Advanced Battery Materials: Better batteries for things like electric cars, which are kinder to the planet.
- Bio-based Biodegradable Plastics: Plastics that can break down naturally and don’t harm animals or the environment.
- Green Hydrogen: A clean fuel that can power factories and cars without pollution.
- Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS): Ways to catch bad gases before they reach the air and find useful things to do with them!
