Zero-Carbon Industry, offers a compelling argument for the urgent need to transform industries to mitigate the effects of climate change. Jeffrey Rissman provides a detailed examination of the current state of industries and the detrimental impact they have on the environment. Through a well-researched and balanced approach, the book highlights the feasibility of transitioning to zero-carbon technologies and the potential benefits for both the environment and the economy.

One of the book's strengths lies in its exploration of various technologies that can be leveraged to achieve zero-carbon emissions. From renewable energy sources to carbon capture and storage technologies, Rissman provides a thorough overview of the options available to industries looking to reduce their carbon footprint. The book also delves into the policy frameworks that can support the adoption of these technologies, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between governments, industries, and communities.

What sets "Zero-Carbon Industry" apart is its optimistic outlook on the future. Rather than presenting the transition to zero-carbon industries as a daunting challenge, Rissman portrays it as an opportunity for innovation and growth. By highlighting successful case studies and initiatives from around the world, the book inspires readers to believe in the possibility of achieving sustainable prosperity.

Overall, "Zero-Carbon Industry" is a thought-provoking and insightful read that offers practical solutions to one of the most pressing issues of our time. It is a must-read for anyone interested in environmental science, technology, or policy, and serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, industry leaders, and environmental activists alike.
