What is Net Zero and why does it matter?
What is Net Zero?
Net Zero refers to achieving a balance between the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced and the amount removed from the atmosphere, resulting in a net total of zero emissions. Attaining Net Zero is a critical goal for addressing global warming and climate change, which are some of the most pressing challenges facing the world today.
Governments and organizations worldwide have committed to Net Zero targets, demonstrating their environmental responsibility and ensuring long-term economic resilience through investment in clean technologies and sustainable innovations.
The Importance of Achieving Net Zero
Mitigating Global Warming and Protecting the Environment
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions helps slow global temperature rise and lessens the risk of natural disasters such as floods, droughts, wildfires, and severe storms.
Example: The melting of polar ice caps raises sea levels, endangering coastal regions, including vulnerable areas like Bangkok’s Bang Khun Thian.
Enhancing Resource Efficiency
Net Zero ambitions drive businesses to innovate production processes, optimize energy consumption, and shift toward renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.
Building Trust and Corporate Credibility
Achieving Net Zero reflects a company’s genuine commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR), influencing consumer and investor preferences toward sustainable enterprises.
Promoting the Green Economy
Investments in green technologies like electric vehicles, renewable energy, and carbon capture technologies stimulate economic growth and create new jobs in emerging sectors.
How to Achieve Net Zero
Direct Emission Reduction:
By optimizing production efficiency, transitioning to renewable energy, and minimizing methane emissions from agriculture and waste.
Carbon Offsetting:
Through afforestation, reforestation, and investing in carbon reduction projects like biomass energy and biogas plants.
Adoption of Innovative Technologies:
Such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Direct Air Capture (DAC) to remove carbon dioxide directly from emission sources or the atmosphere.
