Abstract

The revolutionary journey of clean technology over the last ten years is described in this study, which also identifies the key innovations that have changed the face of sustainability and helped us move toward a cleaner, greener future. The study delves deeply into several clean technology concepts, such as green building solutions, waste management, renewable energy, and transportation. It focuses at how cutting-edge technology have transformed the energy industry and increased the efficiency and accessibility of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. It also examines the remarkable advancements in waste management, highlighting state-of-the-art recycling and waste-to-energy technology that are lowering landfill waste and mitigating environmental damage. The study also highlights ground-breaking developments in transportation, such sustainable fuels, and electric cars, which are changing the automotive sector and lowering carbon emissions. It also highlights the considerable advancements in green building techniques, showcasing intelligent systems, sustainable design principles, and energy-efficient materials that are transforming the building industry. This study analyses these incredible advancements in clean technology to show what further possibility there is to build a sustainable future. It aims to inspire people, entities, and decision-makers to adopt these technologies and strive toward a future in which pollution yields to advancement, creating the way for a more inhabitable, healthy, and sustainable earth.
