Net Zero by SCAPE
What is net zero?
With a climate crisis on our hands, the term net zero is used across the industry but what does it mean? Net zero refers to the balance between the amount of greenhouse gas created and emitted, and the amount taken away from the atmosphere.
We will achieve net zero when the amount we add to the atmosphere does not exceed the amount taken away. The UK was the first major economy to set a legally binding target to be net zero by 2050. But how do you get there?
