Ultimately, getting to net zero and staying at net zero is going to involve something else.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To solve the problem, Young proposes the deployment of carbon capture and sequestration\/storage (CCS) technologies. These tools, in fact, are capable of recovering the CO2 created in power generation plants. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rff.org\/publications\/explainers\/carbon-capture-and-storage-101\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global CCS Institute<\/a>, there are currently 51 plants operating or under construction in the world equipped with this kind of instrumentation for a total capture of <strong>40 million tons of CO2<\/strong> each year (which is less than 1% of the total annual emissions of the United States, estimated at 5 billion tons).<\/p>\n<div class='avia-iframe-wrap'>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"n6mCTAwbBl\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/resoilfoundation.org\/en\/articles\/sustainable-agriculture-minus-7-percent-emissions\/\">Changing agriculture would result in a 7% reduction in emissions<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Changing agriculture would result in a 7% reduction in emissions&#8221; &#8212; Re Soil Foundation\" src=\"https:\/\/resoilfoundation.org\/en\/articles\/sustainable-agriculture-minus-7-percent-emissions\/embed\/#?secret=n6mCTAwbBl\" data-secret=\"n6mCTAwbBl\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h5>Net Zero is an economic opportunity<\/h5>\n<p>With the deployment of this technology, Young says, Australia could reduce emissions paying a capture cost of $100 per tonne.
