What does net zero emissions mean?

Net zero emissions, in simple terms, means that we're trying to create a balance between two things: the greenhouse gases we release into the air (like carbon dioxide) and the greenhouse gases we take out of the air (for example, by planting trees or using technology to capture them). It's like a scale – we want to make sure it stays level. So, net zero means that we're not adding more greenhouse gases into the air than we're taking out. This is important for the environment and fighting climate change.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

In 2015, the United Nations created The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global objectives established by the United Nations to address various social, economic, and environmental challenges in a sustainable way. They aim to improve the quality of life for people all around the world while preserving the planet. Here's a brief overview of some of the key SDGs:

At ESSCO, we aim to contribute to achieving these goals and solving social and environmental issues through providing sustainable solutions and services. Specifically, we are strategically working towards Goals 7, 9, 11, 13 and 17.

7 - Affordable and Clean Energy

Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all.

9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation.

11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities

Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.

13 - Climate Action

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.

17 - Partnerships

Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.

The Energy
Revolution

Renewable energy refers to energy sources that are naturally replenished and produce minimal greenhouse gas emissions when harnessed for electricity generation or other energy needs. These sources include

Solar Energy

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, and solar thermal systems use sunlight to heat water or other fluids for various applications.

Wind Energy

Wind turbines capture the kinetic energy of the wind and convert it into electricity, with no direct emissions of greenhouse gases.

Hydropower

Hydropower systems harness the energy of flowing or falling water, such as in dams or river turbines, to generate electricity.

Biomass Energy

Biomass refers to organic materials like wood, crop residues, and biofuels, which can be burned or processed to produce heat, electricity, or biofuels. While it does release some emissions, it's considered renewable when managed sustainably.

Geothermal Energy

Geothermal power plants use heat from the Earth's core to generate electricity and provide heating and cooling.

The significance of renewable energy

The significance of renewable energy lies in its capacity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas for energy production is a major contributor to global warming due to the release of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. In contrast, renewable energy sources produce little to no direct emissions, making them a crucial part of mitigating climate change. By transitioning to renewable energy, countries and communities can reduce their carbon footprint, limit global temperature increases, and combat the adverse effects of climate change, such as extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and disruptions to ecosystems. This shift toward cleaner, sustainable energy sources is a key strategy in achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and ensuring a more climate-resilient future.
