However, traditional high-emitting industries, and energy producers in particular, are expected to rise to the challenge and curb their CO2 emissions.Ĭarbon Offsetting is the preferred option to achieve this, as a transition to Net Zero by the 2050 target set in the 2015 Paris Agreement is technologically and financially unrealistic. Data recorded over the last 151 years shows that the emission of heat-trapping greenhouse gases (GHG) such as carbon dioxide (CO2) rose from 280 ppm (parts per million) to about 417 ppm, with coal and oil burning contributing to a 48% increase over a century. This in turn leads to rising, warming seas, more chaotic weather and extreme weather events, as well as displaced populations, putting a strain on infrastructure, healthcare systems and food supplies.īecause of their magnitude and slow-response, planet-wide ecological and meteorological systems are difficult to track and harder to influence with any immediacy. In 2017, the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) found that the global mean surface temperature reached ~1☌ above pre-industrial levels (1850-1900), also exacerbating temperature extremes. The public sense of urgency associated with Net Zero derives from years of mounting evidence that our planet is undergoing significant environmental changes largely caused by human activity. At Earth Blox, we pioneer easy-to-deploy carbon offsetting tracking by leveraging cloud-based satellite imagery. While public and political pressure is mounting, companies are challenged to identify, invest into and track optimal avenues of offsetting their carbon emissions in pursuit of Net Zero.įortunately, new technologies and solutions offer businesses the means to translate their net-zero pledge into effective, accurate and transparent implementation. In recent years, high-emitting sectors have been encouraged to increase their carbon offsetting efforts and commit to the objectives of the 2015 Paris Agreements. Web-service providers, in partnership with Google, make satellite data easy to use and access by non-experts to optimise their carbon offsetting investments.
