CARB previews additional approaches for reducing GHG emissions

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) recently held a webinar to discuss additional ways it might further reduce GHG emissions from the industrial sector to meet its 2045 carbon neutrality commitment. Initial concepts include nature-based solutions to offset CO₂ emissions such as creating artificial carbon sinks (reforestation and planting massive areas of vegetation that absorb more carbon than they release). While this discussion was forward-looking and limited to manufacturing facilities in California, other states often follow California’s lead and may look to these concepts to achieve their carbon neutrality goals.
