Net Zero
Net zero refers to greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to the worsening of the climate crisis.
Net Zero emissions cover all greenhouse gases and are achieved through emissions reduction. Offsetting and sequestering emissions are also necessary.
The journey towards achieving net-zero begins with calculating emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3, establishing science-based targets, devising decarbonization pathways up to 2030, and progressively advancing towards long-term carbon capture, storage, and sequestration for emissions that remain unavoidable.
Some businesses talk about zero emissions. Zero emissions, achieved through emissions reduction, means that no CO2 is released at all. Currently, no technology is zero emissions, but businesses can have the ambition to contribute to the creation of zero emissions.
