1 The Wedge Environmentalists recommend the use of the “wedge” approach to combating global warming. The wedge tactic, proposed by Princeton University's Carbon Mitigation Initiative, takes into account the necessity of population growth and industrial expansion by neutralizing the predicted carbon emissions over the next fifty years. The “wedges” themselves are technologies that can be used advantageously to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. As each wedge technology is researched, developed, and improved, each wedge will be able to reduce more and more carbon dioxide, keeping up with industry and population growth’s demand.

2 Energy Wedges The wedges are broken down into four general groups: – Efficiency Buildings, vehicles, etc. – De-carbonization of Power Baseload Carbon Capture Wind Power – De-carbonization of Fuel Wind H2 in Fuel Cell Cars Biomass Fuel – Forests and Agricultural soils Reforestation, reduce deforestation

3 Carbon Capture and Storage

4 Black Soot Reduction Black soot, or black carbon, is the product of the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass The primary causes for atmospheric black soot are open biomass burning for clearing farmland or construction sites, traditional domestic technologies (biomass stoves), and diesel engines In order to cease the addition of black soot to the atmosphere, outdated technologies have to be replaced by modern ones.

6 So Many to Pick From! Each section is divided up into general regions, so just pick your region, narrow it down to your country, and apply the wedge
