Carbon neutrality marks the advent of a new era centered on low carbon. Social and industrial structures are gradually shifting toward low-carbon development, and no one can stay aloof from this trend.
Centering on carbon neutrality, this book elaborates relevant theoretical knowledge in the fundamental section, including the motivations for proposing carbon neutrality, its current development status and future development trends. The pathway section sets forth four core approaches to achieving carbon neutrality: new energy replacement, carbon sink system construction, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), and carbon market development. The application section summarizes the impacts of carbon neutrality on various industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, finance, construction and transportation. It also introduces measures adopted by these industries to seize opportunities and address challenges posed by the carbon-neutral era, as well as their contributions to achieving carbon neutrality.
