Exploring Carbon Neutrality: Methodology and Applications Case Study

This case study explores the methodology and applications of carbon neutrality, focusing on the use of biomass as a sustainable energy source. It discusses the initiatives taken by the UN and the BC government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including the implementation of bioenergy facilities and sustainable forest management practices. The study highlights the economic, social, and environmental benefits of carbon-neutral approaches, such as reduced fuel costs, a healthier environment, and the mitigation of climate change. Recommendations for improvement include stricter regulations on emissions, the promotion of wood usage from sustainable sources, and the expansion of cogeneration plants. The study concludes that organizations need to evaluate their GHG emissions and adopt carbon-neutral processes for a sustainable future. Desklib offers a wealth of resources for students seeking similar case studies and solved assignments.

Carbon Neutralization
Introduction
The study below provides the reports and solution of CO2 neutral biofuel. As climate, change is a factual
worry for the whole world. Since the first engineering uprising, machines are highly used than workers
and manufacture of innovative machinery crop extremely augmented which leads to an improved
convention of the available raw materials and energy sources. In the end, the government understands
that the condition could get poorer and may well acutely transform humanity on earth. As a result,
integration of a number of policies are tested and executed in the organization’s laws. To bring out an
review each year an experts of scientists grouped internationally was proposed in 1988 by the UN (United
Nations) to claim a report on climate change which is also known as the IPCC – Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change. It is at the present accepted as the suggestion in the subject, and the laws resulted in
different assessments in various other countries. The paper is a case study understanding of the concept
of using biomass as a source of energy considering a step to carbon zero emissions in the environment.

Discussion
The Climate action plan was introduced to reduce the effects of greenhouse gases to an extent in the
coming 30 years. The case study provides relevant data regarding the steps and measures UN
government have taken to cut back on global warming. The government decided to circulate a
responsibility to each Public Sector Organization to become carbon neutral with the prospect of offsetting
global warming and greenhouse emissions. As biomass, as an natural substance getting out from a alive
or fresh plants or extracting from animal wastes, established a lot of interest in these days as an modified
alternative energy source, appropriate to its presently acknowledgement as CO2 neutrality. In countries
like Brazil and USA, bioethanol extracted from corn and even sugarcanes are highly used. As to begin a
innovative agenda to diminish global warming and the GHG emissions, the UN government and UBC
launched a cogeneration plant known as Bioenergy Research and Demonstration Facility or BRDF with
the use of firm woody biomass extracted as forest (Dil et al., 2016). The whole agenda was imposed to
generate awareness in reducing and implementing the GHG effects.

Case Study
The BC government was busy in formulating the guidelines for every Public Service Organizations to take
the responsibility in reducing the overall effects of GHG gases. At present, the scientists considered wood
as a carbon-neutral resource and can be used as a harmless source of energy. Many discussions of the
scientists altered the point of vision of the BC government concerning wood biomass, which leads to think
about wood to be excluded from CO2 or GHG neutral if further process is not done. By using sustainable
practices and by means of wood waste and wood collecting from forests certified as SFM or Sustainable
Forest Management, the public sector thus avoids extra key varying in its hazardous GHG emissions, as
the BC government is not allowing altering restrictions for the use of these types of wood in future.
The lone set of laws accessible in modern scenarios is to account discretely the CO2 emission from non-
renewable resources, and implementing BioCO2 from renewable sources. The study says that if the
wood doesn’t arrives from the regeneration of wood waste or is not certified under the law of SFM forests,
emissions related to it could be measured and reported in the future time as a product of non-bio
emissions. This will literally mean that in future wood will be considered non-bio CO2 emissions product
that significantly needs to be counteracted (Lazarevic and Martin, 2016).
Positive Economic impact
The use of wood as a bio energy sources will definitely provide a healthy solution to the Public Service
Organizations in terms increasing more efficiency by reducing the total cost of the fuels used. Economical
improvement in the field of more wood applications is an impact of CO2 neutralizing.
Social benefits
The use of more carbon friendly materials will definitely helps in making a sustainable environment. Not
only this, people will stay away from all the ill effects of the CO2 emissions and a carbon neutral emission
module will be achieved.
Positive Environmental Impact
Earth’s atmospheric temperature is an evidence for a comparatively fast raise in earth’s surface
temperature (Staveness, Bosque and Stephenson, 2016). The following good impacts can be noted after
processing carbon neutral approaches:
 Sustainable environment goal is achieved for a long period
 Burning of hazardous fossil fuels are checked to an extent
 Old ways of businesses are simplified again in the modern technology.
Recommendations for improvement
To establish a carbon neutral emission on industrial as well as domestic use the following are some
recommendations:
1. The UN government should exercise strict laws for the PSO, and other Private Service
organizations as well to reduce the CO2 content to zero during emissions.
2. Use of woods extracted from forests need to be implemented as carbon neutral thus reducing the
adverse effects on the nature.
3. To reduce the effects of GHG gases, government should undertake responsibilities to manipulate
more cogeneration plants thus replacing the use of carbon richen fossil fuels use.

Conclusion
The case study can hereby concluded that the BC GHG determined set of laws emphasizes a number of
points set for the public sector organization that they must follow:
• Wood emissions ought to be accounted as only BioCO2 emissions, where there is no equilibrium need.
• If the overall production results in only 1% of emissions, then it can be considered as Bio-energy
source.
• All the resources that is not included in the public sector organization will not be taken into
considerations. The same process also circulated for other emissions associated with energy dealing with
other Public Service Organization.
The BC government does provide basics to the organizations to constantly employ wood that is extracted
from sustainable forest under SFM, to stay away from major alterations in their emissions. The overall
study suggests that every organizations and plants needs to evaluate their existing GHG emissions and
take carbon neutral process in wood burning for further application.
