A clean energy chain
In this policy paper, Bellona addresses the opportunities and challenges facing the transition to an economy driven by clean energy.

Emissions from industry and fossil fuel energy use constitute the man-made part of the green house gas emissions and heavy local and regional air pollution. The price we have to pay for this manifests itself in the form of natural disasters, unreliable access to food, the spread of tropical diseases and severe health and ecosystem impacts.
