1. Transportation 2. Power generation 3. Building and construction 4. Agriculture or Food 5. Energy storage 6. Circularity (mainly waste conversion and recycling) 7. Carbon capture and storage 8. Land use and related 9. Water management 10. Tools & devices Including Digital 11. Financial services & Carbon credits and 12. Lifestyle products / services. There are technologies like bio fuels and green hydrogen which have made significant progress towards becoming commercially viable. Of course, technologies like nuclear fusion power, hyperloop transportation, geo thermal energy etc. are still at a nascent stage. To conserve land, there are also technologies like floating solar parks or wind farms, solar power concentrators etc.
