Net zero refers to achieving a balance between the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere and the amount removed. This equilibrium is crucial for stabilizing the Earth’s climate and preventing further global warming. To reach net zero, the total emissions must be offset by an eq...
As part of our vision to pioneer a sustainable future, we have chosen to aim for Net Zero emissions within our value chain by 2040. Even though this long-term ambition is important for our work, our near-term actions are the most important for us right now. As part of our Net Zero a...
The need for carbon reduction is not new but dealing with COVID-19 has become a bigger priority for many organisations. As we see more hope for an end to the pandemic, businesses will emerge differently from when the government’s net-zero target and legislation was first passed, they may ...
Net zero is on everyone's lips nowadays. So what exactly does “net zero emission” mean? 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 scenar...

Why is net zero important? The Earth's temperature has already risen by 1°C above pre-industrial levels, and the impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly severe. Without steps to slow climate change, the planet will facecatastrophic consequences, such as extreme weather events, rising...
Net zero is an ideal state where the amount of greenhouse gases released into the Earth’s atmosphere is equal to the amount removed. Emission removal and reduction through decarbonization efforts are needed to reach net zero.
What Does it Mean? Becoming net zero refers to balancing negative emissions by removing emissions from the atmosphere to achieve carbon neutrality. This can be understood by using the metaphor of a sink being filled up with water. You can either turn off the taps (emissions reduction) or remov...
But what does net-zero emissions actually mean? “Zero emissions”—without the “net” caveat—means emitting no greenhouse gases. “Net-zero emissions” has more wiggle room. It’s like balancing a checkbook. The country or company cuts most of its emissions through ...
Rigorous decarbonization of the global energy supply is required to limit the temperature rise to below 1.5掳C and reach net zero by 2050. Solar photovoltaics will play a key role, and massive upscaling of solar photovoltaics is faced with many challenges. Here we discuss how materials ...
