For the period from 1860 to 2010 (150 years), the energy sector of the world increased by 35 times and passed three “Energy Transition”. Energy Transition is a radical shift in the energy system from the existing model to the new paradigm. This is a complex and going beyond a simple replacement of one fuel source to another. In fact, Energy Transition includes changes in three interconnected measurements:
- material elements of the energy system, which include technologies, infrastructure, markets, production equipment, consumer models, and distribution chains;
- actors and their behavior, which includes new strategies and investment models;
- socio-technical regimes containing official rules and politics, as well as systems of thinking and beliefs and social practices.
Consequently, Energy Transition is multidimensional, complex, nonlinear, non -meterminated and very significant process. At the end of each Energy Transition, a crisis decline in energy demand is observed.
The conclusion from the study of the 150-year history of energy markets is that the demand for the energy of wind and sun changes as well as the demand for coal in the 19th century and for oil in the 20th century, and in the same way, there will probably be a demand for wind energy. And the sun is equally transformational and in demand in the 21st century. In 2020, the need for wind energy amounted to about 6% of the total world energy needs, at the same time, as solar energy, 3% of the final demand.
According to the UN program on the environment, the lack of access to energy supply and transformation systems is an obstacle to human and economic development. Three billion people use wood, coal, charcoal, or livestock waste for cooking and heating, which is the cause of the multi-ton emissions of greenhouse gases. Figure 1 depicts the leading countries in the world to eject greenhouse gases CO2.
Energy is the main factor in climate change; it accounts for about 60% of the general global emissions of greenhouse gases. Since 1990, global CO2 emissions have increased by more than 46 percent. Figure 2 depicts the dynamics of CO2 emissions in the world for the period 1990–2020 according to the ENERDATA.
To date, hydropower (hydroelectric power station) is the largest renewable source of electricity (renewable power transmission), which provides 16% of the global electricity at competitive prices without emissions of greenhouse gas gas. The hydroelectric power station dominates the structure of the electric power industry in several countries, both developed and developing. Bioenergy today is the largest renewable energy source and provides 10% of the global supply of primary energy.
CO₂ Capture Technologies vs. Emissions Reduction: Can We Really Afford It?
As the threat of global warming intensifies, scientists and engineers around the world are urgently searching for ways to reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions without halting energy production or slowing industrial growth—both of which could seriously impact the global economy.
In this context, many experts are now turning to high-tech solutions that aim not to reduce energy generation, but to capture CO₂ directly from the atmosphere. These technologies focus on collecting, storing, and even converting carbon emissions into more stable or reusable forms.
At ProLuxMax, we believe in a balanced approach—supporting carbon reduction through widespread adoption of solar energy systems, while also staying informed about emerging innovations in CO₂ management.
Examples of CO₂ Capture and Processing Technologies:
- Mineralization – turning CO₂ into stone-like materials
- Bio-capture – using algae or biological processes to “breathe in” CO₂
- Subsurface Injection – returning CO₂ underground, often into empty oil fields
These methods, while promising, are still in early stages of development and deployment. Leading tech companies and environmental investors—including Bill Gates, Swiss Re, Shopify, and Audi—have already begun purchasing CO₂ removal services to support these innovations.
The High Cost of CO₂ Removal
Despite the growing interest, the financial barrier remains high. Removing just one ton of CO₂ currently costs around $600 or more. With global emissions exceeding 36 billion tons annually, the total cost to offset human-caused CO₂ would be astronomical and largely unaffordable for most governments and industries.
The ProLuxMax Perspective: Prevention Over Cure
While carbon capture technologies have potential, they are not yet scalable or cost-effective for widespread adoption. That’s why ProLuxMax continues to focus on preventative solutions, like our efficient and affordable solar energy systems, which drastically reduce CO₂ emissions at the source.
By replacing fossil fuel energy with clean, renewable solar power, we help homes, businesses, and entire communities shrink their carbon footprints—without sacrificing energy reliability or economic growth.
🌱 Clean energy is the most practical path forward.
