Popis: | Global development has been heavily reliant on the overexploitation of natural resources since the Industrial Revolution. With the extensive use of fossil fuels, deforestation, and other forms of land-use change, anthropogenic activities have contributed to the ever-increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere, causing global climate change. In response to the worsening global climate change, achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 is the most pressing task on the planet. To this end, it is of utmost importance and a significant challenge to reform the current production systems to reduce GHG emissions and promote the capture of CO2 from the atmosphere. Herein, we review innovative technologies that offer solutions achieving carbon (C) neutrality and sustainable development, including those for renewable energy production, food system transformation, waste valorization, C sink conservation, and C-negative manufacturing. The wealth of knowledge disseminated in this review could inspire the global community and drive the further development of innovative technologies to mitigate climate change and sustainably support human activities. Graphical abstract Public summary • Carbon neutrality may be achieved by reforming current global development systems to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and increase CO2 capture • Harnessing the power of renewable and carbon-neutral resources to produce energy and other fossil-based alternatives may eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels • Protecting natural carbon sinks and promoting CO2 capture, utilization, and storage are conducive to mitigating climate change • This review presents the current state, opportunities, challenges, and perspectives of technologies related to achieving carbon neutrality |
