Net Zero is a Hot Topic here at cop 29 as we all try to limit global warming but is it actually technically possible well according to the world’s leading scientists yes it is the ipcc has shown that not only is it possible that there are multiple ways to get to Net Zero of course none of them are easy however it is still possible to reach Net Zero you have to drive down your energy use as much as possible and in Europe that means Reus use recycle repurpose and get planting Urban trees for example already Urban trees capture seven gigatons of carbon dioxide alog together and every year in addition of 400 megatons so our cities with really benefit from much more uh big uh trees and infrastructure they also bring down energy use they also help with adaptation with mental health uh better livable cities increasing property values existing technology means that the buildings and those tree filled cities can be retrofitted so that they become energy producers rather than energy consumers but there are many sectors such as petrochemicals steel and cement where it’s impossible to operate without emitting CO2 into the atmosphere so they’re going to need to capture that carbon and carbon capture Technologies are proving expensive and difficult to scale so are there any innovations that can fix it I believe that we can become carbon neutral in our world by renewable energies Energy Efficiency all the solutions that exist but they are not implemented fast enough which means that we will need most probably direct air capture because we are not doing enough today and we will need to pay this cost of inaction by putting a lot of money into direct air capture the scientists and Engineers are convinced that Net Zero is possible and in many countries including the EU it’s a legal obligation however fossil fuel use is still growing and nobody believes that it’s peaked so we’re going to need a huge shift in society as well as technology to get Net Zero On The Road to Reality Jeremy wils at cop 29 in aaban for Euro News
