There are a few other aspects to consider, like radiative forcing[1], which add a significant multiplier onto the basic CO2 released from burning the fuel. For one take on calculation of emissions, see how MyClimate (a carbon offsetting service) calculate total CO2 emissions[2].

I quit my tech job at the end of last year, and have been working since then to find the most impactful ways that I can combat climate change.

I'm currently looking into energy storage, particularly batteries, and how to effectively create grid-scale storage to improve the electrical grid and facilitate the uptake of renewable energy.

In the mean time, I started https://www.forgethefuture.com/ to compile resources for others, and I run a newsletter off the back of that to keep people up to date with policy, activism and technical changes in the space (https://forgethefuture.substack.com/ if you want to sample it :)). I want to make it easier for people to understand where the biggest problem areas are and how they can be tackled. I'm also a part of https://techimpactmakers.com/ - a community which brings together technologists concerned about the environment.

As others have said, we have almost all of the technological tools to fix this problem, but government policy moves to slowly to rely on. We need a combination of physical solutions (think the Tesla of energy/agriculture/etc - make a solution that's better than the competition _and_ greener) and activism - showing governments that we care.

LabGenius | London, UK | ONSITE | https://www.labgeni.us

LabGenius is developing an AI-driven evolution engine to discover novel, high-value proteins. We're a passionate team of synthetic biologists, data scientists and engineers based in Central London, and looking to revolutionise the way protein-based pharmaceuticals are developed. We primarily work in Python, running in GCP, with Vue.js powering our internal frontends.

To learn more about who we are, our engineering culture, and whether this is the right place for you, read our Key Values profile: https://www.keyvalues.com/labgenius

We're looking primarily for a Data Scientist right now, to help build out our AI-based protein design engine, but we're growing fast and we will soon be hiring for an Engineering Manager and Software Engineers (see the tech stack for more details on what we use).
