Net zero by 2050 is the new norm in Europe. Companies can play an active role.

Net zero is not just a new buzzword, it is a step change for our economy and society. To reach net zero by 2050 at European level, we need to reduce drastically our greenhouse gas emissions but also to capture atmospheric carbon dioxide to make up for residual carbon emissions.

In this context, companies can contribute to the global achievement of net zero. Their contribution will primarily be to reduce emissions but could also be to support the carbon removal from the atmosphere and store it permanently.
