Nollapäästöjä

Nollapäästöjä refers to a state or goal where a system, process, or entity produces zero net emissions of greenhouse gases. This concept is central to global efforts to combat climate change and limit global warming. Achieving nollapäästöjä means that any emissions released are balanced by an equivalent amount of greenhouse gases being removed from the atmosphere. This removal can be achieved through natural processes like photosynthesis by forests and oceans, or through technological carbon capture and storage solutions.

The target of nollapäästöjä is often set for specific sectors, such as energy production, transportation, or industry, as well as for entire countries or the global economy. It signifies a transition away from fossil fuels and the adoption of renewable energy sources, increased energy efficiency, and sustainable practices across all aspects of society. While often used interchangeably with "net-zero emissions," nollapäästöjä specifically emphasizes the "zero" aspect of the net balance, highlighting the ultimate aim of achieving a state where human activities do not add to the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
