This research delves into the progression of technologies designed to facilitate the shift toward sustainable energy and eco-friendliness, assessing their potential influence on both ecological and economic systems. By examining data from sources like Scopus and patent records, it pinpoints promising technologies, such as offshore wind turbines, carbon capture storage, electrochemical CO2 conversion, bioconversion of CO2, sustainable ammonia production, and cellular agriculture. While certain of these technologies are already making significant progress in the market, others are still undergoing research and development. The study underscores the significance of these technologies in curbing CO2 emissions and environmental harm, providing valuable insights for policymakers and investors. It stresses the necessity for nations to transition from fossil fuel-dependent economies and instead adopt principles of a circular economy, renewable energy sources, and environmentally friendly production practices. Despite its limitations, this research illuminates essential technological avenues for sustainable development and ecological transformation.
