Everybody already sees and feels the effects of the global warming worldwide, when the natural disasters have nearly doubled in the past 20 years according to the UN data.

Going carbon neutral

According to the European Parliament, carbon neutrality is reached when the same amount of CO2 is released into the atmosphere as is removed by various means.
Many countries in the world have already recognized the issue at the highest level and announced their road plan to achieve carbon neutrality in the nearest future:

What is Carbon Footprint
|
|
The trace of the greenhouse gases resulting from everyday economic and human activity, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent are known as carbon footprint.
Carbon emission footprints for Aluminium products, depends on the source of energy, used for aluminium production. Most clean is aluminium production with hydropower, which in general generate 5 times less emissions, that production, based on coal energy. |

What is EU Carbon Border Adjustment Certificate
|
|
The EU Commission introduced a proposal for a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which should prevent the risk of “carbon leakage”, when the companies based in the EU could move carbon-intensive production abroad to take advantage of lax standards, or EU products could be replaced by more carbon-intensive imports.
The CBAM will equalize the price of carbon between domestic products and imports and ensure that the EU’s climate objectives are not undermined by production relocating to countries with less ambitious policies. It also aims to encourage industry outside the EU and our international partners to take steps in the same direction CBAM rules stipulate, that EU importers will buy carbon certificates corresponding to the carbon price that would have been paid, had the goods been produced under the EU’s carbon pricing rules. Conversely, once a non-EU producer can show that they have already paid a price for the carbon used in the production of the imported goods in a third country, the corresponding cost can be fully deducted for the EU importer. The CBAM will encourage producers in non-EU countries to green their production processes. |
