✨ Project 2 Degree 🌡️

🌟 Our Motto

“Pledge 2 be Cool and make Earth 2° Cooler”

🌟 Introduction

“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need but not every man’s greed.”

• Global warming is the increase of average world temperature as a result of what is known as the greenhouse effect. Certain gases in the atmosphere act like glass in a greenhouse, allowing sunlight through to heat the earth’s surface but trapping the heat as it radiates back into space.
• It’s being predicted that by the next century Earth will see a rise of nearly 5°C in the global temperature due to Global warming.
• Team 2° believes this rise in temperature can be restrained to 2°C and aims to make it a reality with this project .

🌟 Problem Statement

• What is Global warming?

  • Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth’s climate system observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth’s atmosphere.

• What causes Global warning?

  • It is caused by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mainly from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial activities and farming.

• How big is the Global Warming?

  • Climate change is already happening: temperatures are rising, drought and wild fires are starting to occur more frequently, rainfall patterns are shifting, glaciers and snow are melting and the global mean sea level is rising.

🌟 Problem Solution

• Project 2° has simulated to design the most opitimal scenario to restrain the rise in global temperature due to global warming.

• In this Project Team 2° took into consideration factors such as:

  • Energy Supply
  • Transport
  • Buildings and Industry
  • Population Growth
  • Economic Growth
  • Land and Industrial Emissions
  • Carbon Removal

  along with various sub-factors such as:

  • Use of Coal
  • Renewable Resources
  • New Zero Concept
  • Carbon Price
  • Energy Efficiency
  • Afforestation
  • Use of Technology for Carbon Removal , etc.

• Team 2° has also given insights about existing green technologies such as:

  • FuelGems
  • Climeworks
  • Terramera
  • CarbonCure

  which are working efficiently towards Net-Zero Carbon , Carbon Neutrality or simply Carbon Removal.

• Team 2° has used En-ROADS to simulate the optimal solution which is practical and achievable. En-ROADS is a transparent simulator developed by Climate Interactive, Ventana Systems, and MIT Sloan and has been calibrated against a wide range of existing integrated assessment, climate and energy models.

• We also have a User Dashboard which can be accessed on authentication (Firebase Google Auth) which is user personalized and it also has a Green Chat feature.

• Green Chat is a Exclusive Feature where users can discuss with each other various solution to the problem and come up with the next big change to help us make this initiative a great success.
