The document lists 10 top global warming solutions: 1) carbon capture and storage in biomass or soil, 2) carbon capture and storage in underground geologic formations, 3) producing bio-products that reduce greenhouse gases, 4) containing methane emissions from landfills, livestock, coal mines, and natural gas facilities, 5) establishing greenhouse gas markets, 6) improving electric and heating efficiency, 7) increasing vehicle efficiency, 8) expanding wind and solar power as short-term low emissions solutions, 9) developing hydrogen and electric energy systems, and 10) implementing cleaner diesel technologies and fuels.

1. Top Ten
Global
Warming
Solutions

2. Carbon biological
1. capture
Remove carbon from the
atmosphere and store it
in biomass or soil.

3. Carbon geological
2. capture
Capture carbon and store
it in underground
geologic formations.

4. 3. Bio products
Produce products that
reduce greenhouse gases
by serving as substitutes
for fossil fuels.

5. 4. Methane
Contain methane emissions
landfill recovery, bio digesters,
cattle & feed efficiency, coal
mine methane recovery, and
natural gas facilities.

6. Greenhouse gas
5. markets
Buy or sell credits that
represent reduction or
offset of greenhouse
gases.

7. Electric & heating
6. efficiency
Use electric and heating
efficiency strategies to
reduce greenhouse gases
and save money.

8. 7. Vehicle efficiency
Implement efficiency
improvements in engines,
transmissions, aero-
dynamics, and tire drag in
light-duty vehicles.

9. 8. Wind & solar power
A short-term solution -
wind and solar produce
virtually no greenhouse
gases as a byproduct of
power production.

10. Low or no-carbon
9. energy systems
Develop hydrogen and
electric as energy sources.

11. 10. Cleaner diesel
Retrofit with pollution controls…
Refuel with cleaner fuels…
Replace older vehicles…
Reduce idling.
