Carbon Neutrality and Carbon Capture Technologies are critical components of the global effort to combat climate change and achieve a sustainable future. Carbon neutrality refers to the balance between the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emitted and the amount removed from the atmosphere, effectively resulting in net-zero emissions. This objective is increasingly becoming a goal for nations, companies, and organizations worldwide, as they recognize the urgent need to mitigate the effects of climate change while transitioning to low-carbon economies.

Carbon capture technologies play a vital role in achieving carbon neutrality by capturing CO₂ emissions at their source—such as power plants, industrial facilities, and other major sources—and either storing it underground or utilizing it in various applications. These technologies include direct air capture, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and carbon capture and utilization (CCU), each offering innovative solutions for reducing atmospheric CO₂ concentrations.

Key areas of focus include:

• Advancements in Carbon Capture Technologies, exploring cutting-edge methods that improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of CO₂ capture.
• Integration of Carbon Capture with Renewable Energy Systems, ensuring that captured carbon can be utilized in sustainable ways, such as converting it into biofuels or chemical feedstocks.
• Lifecycle Assessment of Carbon Capture Technologies, evaluating the environmental impacts and benefits of various carbon capture methods.
• Policy and Regulatory Frameworks, which are essential for supporting the development and deployment of carbon capture technologies at scale.
• Carbon Offsetting Strategies, including reforestation and afforestation efforts, that complement carbon capture initiatives in achieving overall carbon neutrality.
• Innovative Applications of Captured Carbon, highlighting opportunities for utilizing CO₂ in building materials, enhanced oil recovery, and synthetic fuels.
• Public Perception and Acceptance of Carbon Capture Technologies, addressing the social implications and community engagement required for successful implementation.
