Net Zero Carbon Emissions Explained

Description:

As the entire planet continues to feel the harmful effects of global warming, investors are becoming decidedly pickier as to which companies they choose to do business with, opting to work only with those who are able to demonstrate a sufficient degree of environmental responsibility. In turn, this has seen many of the world’s biggest and most well-known companies make pledges to attain ‘net zero’ carbon emissions within defined timeframes, and even many smaller companies are doing the same. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Net Zero Carbon Emissions Explained

  • Climate change is real and its affecting us all.
  • As the entire planet continues to feel the
    harmful effects of global warming, investors are
    becoming decidedly pickier as to which companies
    they choose to do business with, opting to work
    only with those who are able to demonstrate a
    sufficient degree of environmental
    responsibility. In turn, this has seen many of
    the worlds biggest and most well-known companies
    make pledges to attain net zero carbon
    emissions within defined timeframes, and even
    many smaller companies are doing the same.
  • But what exactly is net zero?

  • Net zero explained
  • For an organization to reach a target of net
    zero, they must be able to reduce their
    greenhouse gas emissions by as much as possible,
    and ensure that any remaining emissions are not
    able to re-enter the atmosphere.
  • Carbon is the greenhouse gas that has become the
    primary focus of net zero efforts, and many
    companies throughout America and beyond, have
    pledged to become carbon neutral within a certain
    timeframe, while others aim to be completely
    carbon neutral within the next decade.

  • Net zero as a concept, can be a little misleading
  • The way in which companies throughout the world
    aim to achieve net zero, is often complicated and
    has the potential to be very misleading. For
    instance, some companies opt to do absolutely
    nothing about their own emissions, while choosing
    instead to support projects that offset their
    carbon output, such as by planting trees.
    However, research has shown that as few as 5 of
    such promised offsets, actually do anything to
    effectively remove carbon dioxide from the
    atmosphere. This shocking evidence has led to
    claims that companies are merely greenwashing
    and trying to gloss over their own emissions,
    instead of doing anything meaningful and
    effective to reach a target of net zero.

5
  • What role does solar power play in achieving net
    zero carbon emissions?
  • Electricity generated from harmful fossil fuels
    such as coal, is one of the leading sources of
    carbon emissions, and any company that can make
    the switch from fossil fuels to solar, is going
    to progress towards net zero at a faster pace.
  • Neither solar energy nor the power plants they
    run on, produce any harmful emissions or air
    pollution, making going solar a fantastic way to
    achieve net zero in the quickest time.

6
  • Take the cement industry this is one of the
    least sustainable on the planet and is
    responsible for around 8 of carbon emissions
    globally. Some companies within the industry have
    begun using solar instead of fossil fuels during
    their production processes, which is an active
    step towards eliminating those emissions
    altogether.

  • What can you do to reduce carbon emissions at
    home?
  • With the cost of solar systems having dropped in
    recent years (and set to continue dropping),
    having solar panels installed at your home is
    something that more and more homeowners can
    afford. Residential solar panels enable you to
    power your home without contributing to carbon
    emissions, while having a solar system at your
    business will give you the opportunity to work
    toward net zero emissions.
  • For more information about achieving net zero
    through solar innovation, chat to a local solar
    energy provider and see how you can do your bit
    for the planet, and for future generations.
