HOME > Information > Carbon Neutrality
Carbon neutrality is defined as the concept of setting net carbon emissions to “zero” so that the level of total greenhouse gases in the air stops increasing.
Reducing the net amount of carbon emissions to “zero” by decreasing GHG emissions generated by human activities to the fullest extent (positive factor) and removing GHG emissions through forest absorption or CCUS (negative factor) is referred to as carbon neutrality (net zero).
*CCUS: Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage technologies
Need to join the global efforts in response to abnormal weather conditions, the adoption of the Paris Agreement (December 2015), major countries’ announcement of carbon neutrality and 2030 NDC enhancement*, etc.
Necessary to preemptively respond to the EU and U.S. announcements on the adoption of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism(CBAM), global companies RE100 *declarations, the expansion of ESG investments, etc.
Swiftly reducing GHG emissions and achieving carbon neutrality is critical to improve sustainable economic growth and national competitiveness as a responsible member of the international community
