1. Carbon neutrality refers to the total amount of carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas emissions directly or indirectly generated by a country, an enterprise, a product, an activity or a person in a certain period of time, and the carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas emissions generated by itself are offset by afforestation, energy conservation and emission reduction, so as to achieve positive and negative offset and achieve relative zero emission.
2. Carbon neutrality is a measure of energy saving and emission reduction. Using afforestation and energy conservation and emission reduction, the carbon produced in human production and life will be reabsorbed in some special ways to prevent the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from causing global warming.
3. Carbon neutralization methods include energy saving and emission reduction, afforestation and other forms to offset the carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas emissions generated by itself, so as to prevent the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from causing global warming.
Carbon neutralization effect
1. Mitigating climate change. Carbon neutrality can greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide emissions, help slow down the speed and degree of global climate change, and reduce the risk of rising earth surface temperature.
2. Achieve zero emissions. The goal of carbon neutrality is to balance emission and absorption, achieve net zero emission, and will not further increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Provide a transition plan. Carbon neutrality can be used as a transitional scheme to create time and space for achieving a more sustainable energy and industrial model.
3. Improve the environment and human health. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adopting clean energy will reduce air pollution and improve water quality, thus reducing human health problems related to air pollution and water pollution, such as respiratory diseases and heart diseases.
4. Promote sustainable development. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions and taking measures to absorb carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, carbon neutrality will help achieve the goals of sustainable development, including environmental protection, social justice and economic development.
5. Improve energy security. By reducing dependence on fossil fuels, carbon neutrality helps to improve energy security, reduce dependence on energy imports, and reduce geopolitical risks related to energy.
6. Promote technological innovation. In order to achieve carbon neutrality, we need to adopt a series of new technologies and solutions, including renewable energy, carbon capture and storage and energy efficiency improvement. The development and application of these technologies will promote economic growth and technological innovation.
