As with previous years, 2022’s conference has focused on implementing climate policies – with decarbonisation a key theme. Scope 3 emissions can account for over 70% of many businesses’ carbon footprint, which means that organisations – and the world – cannot reach net-zero without taking huge strides to reduce their indirect emissions.

The reason it’s considered a solution is that plants suck up carbon from the air while they grow. When we turn them into fuels and burn them, no new carbon is added to the atmosphere —the whole cycle is considered “carbon neutral.” But critics say biofuels’ carbon-neutrality is a mirage.
