Did you know?
Due to human activities, the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) has been rising extensively since the Industrial Revolution and has now reached dangerous levels not seen in the last 3 million years. Human sources of CO2 emissions are much smaller than natural emissions, but they have upset the natural balance that existed for many thousands of years before the influence of humans.
Since the Industrial Revolution, human sources of carbon dioxide emissions have been growing. Human activities such as the burning of oil, coal, and gas, as well as deforestation are the primary cause of the increased carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. 87% of all human-produced CO2 emissions come from the burning of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil. The remainder results from the clearing of forests and other land use changes (9%), as well as some industrial processes such as cement manufacturing (4%).
What is our mission?
GOG platform is aimed at boosting green behavior (CO2 non emission) of communities and industries, by:
Gathering and verifying
Green behavior of individuals, companies, and organizations using innovative and comprehensive ways of their measurement.
Expressing
the verified green behaviors in common units GOG, being 1g of non-emmited CO2
Gathering
funds available in the Green Energy domain for rewarding of the verified green behavior and sustainability of the GOG platform
