Carbon neutrality refers to the achievement of a net-zero carbon footprint, where an entity, such as a person, organization, or country, balances the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere with an equivalent amount of carbon removal or offsetting measures. This can be accomplished through reducing emissions by adopting cleaner energy sources, increasing energy efficiency, and implementing sustainable practices, as well as investing in projects that absorb carbon, such as reforestation or renewable energy developments.
The concept is central to combating climate change, as it aims to limit the impacts of greenhouse gases on the environment. Carbon neutrality is often pursued through a combination of reducing one’s carbon emissions and purchasing carbon credits to offset any remaining emissions, contributing to projects that sequester carbon or reduce emissions elsewhere. Various organizations, governments, and individuals commit to carbon neutrality as part of broader sustainability and environmental goals, in line with initiatives such as the Paris Agreement, to limit global temperature rise and its associated impacts.
Hong Kong, a bustling metropolis known for its high levels of air pollution, is taking a significant step towards carbon neutrality by embracing hydrogen power. Unlike traditional energy sources, hydrogen…
