Imagine the Earth as a bank account.

Deposits: Represent the greenhouse gases we release into the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, through our activities such as driving and burning fossil fuels. In other words, whenever we add greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide) to the atmosphere, we are depositing money into this account

Withdrawals: The removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, such as planting trees that absorb carbon dioxide or using "underground capture and storage" technologies means that whenever we remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, it is a withdrawal of money from the account.

The goal of a net-zero economy is to balance these deposits and withdrawals. That is Achieving a zero balance in this account.

We want to minimize "deposits" as much as possible by reducing GHG emissions.

We also want to maximize "withdrawals" as much as possible by removing more greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

In other words:

Zero net emissions is when the amount of greenhouse gases we emit is equal to the amount of greenhouse gases we remove.

It doesn't mean that we completely stop emitting any emissions.

but rather that we remove what we emit through different technologies.

Why is net-zero economy important?

Climate change: Zero net emissions are necessary to prevent climate change from reaching catastrophic levels.

Economy: Moving to net-zero emissions can create new jobs, improve air quality and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

Health: Net zero emissions can improve human health by reducing air pollution.

How can we achieve a net-zero economy?

Renewable energy: Replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.

Energy efficiency: Reduce energy consumption by optimizing buildings, appliances, and transportation.

Decarbonization: Using techniques to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, such as planting trees and capturing and storing carbon underground.

Behavioral changes: Changing our daily habits, such as driving less

A net zero economy is an ambitious goal, but necessary for a sustainable future for our beautiful planet.

Let's work together as researchers and professionals to make it happen🌲☘☘🌿🌱🌱🍀🌾🌍🌝🌦

Thank you very much

It is not possible to talk about green fuel or virgin nature without compromising industrial and economic growth. We all dream of a green world, but it is far from us at the present time.

Thank you for your response Lakhdar Boumia

Excellent response from Hadjira Djeddi ! Bravo.

Thanks for the encouragement, Dr.
