Net-Zero

Net-zero

Net zero is a state where the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) produced is equal to the amount removed from the atmosphere. 

Carbon neutrality is a key goal of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It's also known as net-zero carbon emissions. 

Governments and businesses can commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by investing in renewable energies, Promote sustainable consumption and production, and Manage natural resources sustainably. 


What are the goals for carbon neutrality? 

To limit global warming to 1.5°C

To reduce global carbon emissions by 45% by 2030 from 2010 levels

To reach net-zero emissions by 2050


Which SDGs are related to carbon neutrality? 

SDG 13: Climate Action

This goal focuses on taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

This goal focuses on ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all

SDG 15: Life on Land

This goal focuses on conserving and sustainably using the oceans, seas, and marine resources


Carbon neutral projects

Examples of carbon neutral projects

Reducing transportation emissions: Companies can shift to less carbon-intensive shipping methods, like rail or ocean. 

Using renewable energy: Renewable energy comes from natural, self-replenishing sources, like wind or solar. 

Planting trees: Planting trees on degraded land can remove carbon from the atmosphere. 

Decarbonizing steelmaking: Companies can reduce the carbon emissions from their steelmaking processes. 

Using energy efficient light bulbs: Light emitting diode (LED) bulbs use less energy than incandescent bulbs. 

Carbon capture and storage (CCS): This technology captures carbon emissions and stores them. 

Methane capture and utilization: This technology captures and uses methane emissions. 

Wetland restoration: Restoring wetlands can help absorb carbon emissions.
