A state of net-zero carbon dioxide emissions is known as carbon neutrality. Achieving carbon neutrality means that the environmental effects of your carbon dioxide output are net neutral, and it can help mitigate the effects of climate change.
Aplantex not only strives to operate at the carbon neutral level, it aims to reach the carbon negative status.
This can be done by removing emissions from society or by balancing carbon dioxide emissions with its removal. The phrase refers to carbon dioxide-releasing operations connected to industry, agriculture, energy production, and transportation. Not many companies have the ability to reach this highly sought status. At Aplantex we are not only striving to operate at the carbon neutral level, we are looking to reach the carbon negative status – that is when you remove more carbon from the atmosphere that your entire process generates.
Every one of us can contribute to the effort – some examples of decisions that can positively affect the balance is by changing to an electric vehicle, installing solar panels on your home or sourcing your fruit and vegetables locally from vertical farm suppliers. On the industrial side, several solutions are also deployed to close the gap between positive carbon emission and carbon neutrality. Some examples are direct electrification and renewable heat, usage of hydrogen powered options and/or carbon capture, utilization and storage.
Beyond policy and funding, the clustering of low-carbon technologies can result in broader system value benefits like job creation and economic growth, improvements in air quality and subsequent benefits to human health, and the development of a digitally enabled modern integrated energy system that is more secure and resilient.
At Aplantex, we produce our own raw materials that is referred as biomass. Since photosynthesis is at the heart of the biomass natural production process, it removes CO2 from the atmosphere to store it in carbon-based molecules – in the case of Aplantex, those molecules have a high commercial value not only in the pharmaceutical realm but also in the cosmetical and food & beverage industries. The proprietary process uses primarily renewable resources, requiring very little outside inputs, and produces nearly zero waste. Aplantex’ approach and production process are wholly based on the principles of carbon neutrality. The more high-value molecules we make, the cleaner the air we breathe gets ! It may look to good to be true, but it is. Thanks the biotechnology advancements, the future is now and it is fueling Aplantex today!
