Journal 16: Carbon neutrality

 Recently, I was talking to a friend about carbon neutrality, but I didn't quite understand what it meant. So I conducted a series of studies, and in my opinion, carbon neutrality can be seen as an important goal and one of the main visions for a sustainable city.

This refers to equalizing CO2 emissions so that if the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted is equal to the total amount avoided or removed, then the two effects cancel each other out and the net emissions are "neutral."

So how do you avoid it? At the moment, countries are moving away from carbon-intensive industrial processes and towards energy and industrial processes that produce fewer greenhouse gases, so as to make the transition with as little impact as possible on the current economy.

And make great use of natural energy. Examples are hydro, wind, geothermal, and solar energy. Although both renewable and non-renewable energy production will produce some form of carbon emissions, the carbon emissions from renewable energy sources will be negligible, almost zero.

In general, although the plan is clear, there are some difficulties in implementing it internationally, and it is difficult to see the results in a short period of time. So carbon neutrality will continue to be a regular part of the discussion of sustainable development in the future.
