But what does carbon-neutrality involve? In simple terms it can be thought of as ensuring that there is no net release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This might involve a switch from fossil fuel energy to renewable energy or the purchase of carbon-offsets through investment in s...
current commitments fall short, and some of the highest polluting countries have agreed to net zero over a longer timeframe. The biggest producer of CO2, China, has pledged to ‘carbon neutrality’ before 2060, Russia is aiming for net zero by 2060, and the fourth ...
The IPCC demonstrates in its most recent report of 2023 that net emissions must be reduced to zero as soon as possible in order to stabilize global temperatures. The report also states that any scenario that does not involve a reduction to zero will not stop climate change. This objective has...
The wide implementation of carbon removal and long-term storage will thus be necessary to halt the progression of global warming.What would a net-zero transition involve?McKinsey’s research simulates one hypothetical, orderly path toward 1.5°C, based on the Net Zero 2050 scenario from the ...
What exactly does it mean to have such concrete? And is net-zero-carbon concrete even possible? Join us as we explore all these questions and more. So, What Is Net-Zero-Carbon Concrete? To start, we need a more solid idea on what net-zero-carbon concrete even is. There is a lot ...
CCS has the potential to be a valuable tool in our net-zero toolbox, but only if we handle its deployment correctly. This historic funding for carbon management gives DOE the opportunity to set the standard on what good CCS deployment looks like and help shape the future of this industry....

The Voluntary Carbon Standard approach is a sort of catchall method that is used for otherwise non-compliant and voluntary reductions of greenhouse. It utilizes CDM calculations to average out yearly cycles. It is the one approach that does not strictly comply with standards set by the United Na...
there is no way we move quickly toward a net-zero transition without global flows. There are certainly things about global flows that are tricky from a net-zero perspective. It costs carbon to ship things and move things a long way. But in order for net zero to be attainable, we need ...
Decarbonisation of UK electricity generation and a shift to more electric heating is anticipated, although the extent of this is uncertain (BEIS, 2017a, p. 77). For example, in six scenarios produced independently by Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), the Committee on Climate ...
