Global warming projects
Increased global warming is brought about by a mix of atmospheric
pollutants (gaseous, liquid and solid) released because of human activities.
Global warming is one of the most difficult environmental challenges because
remedial measures require deep structural changes in policy, and energy demand
and supply systems.
The emission of greenhouse pollutants is estimated in many of SENCO's
projects including those covering road and air transport, energy and
electricity. In addition SENCO has worked on
some specific global warming projects.
