EcoEngineers: Supporting Companies To Decarbonise
There is currently a global race for countries, companies and organisations to reach net zero by 2050.
This goal has been laid out in the Paris Agreement, a legally binding treaty that aims to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
If the world exceeds this limit the United Nations say this could lead to more severe climate change impacts such as more frequent droughts, heatwaves and rainfall.
Companies play a big role in supporting the move to net zero, by promoting sustainability and decarbonising large sectors of the industry.
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission outlines what is expected from the Paris Agreement: “We now have a multilateral agreement to accelerate emission reductions towards net zero by 2050, with urgent action in this critical decade.
“This includes an agreement by all parties to transition away from fossil fuels.
“We have agreed on reducing global emissions by 43% by 2030, in line with the best available science, to keep 1.5 Celsius within reach.
“This will keep us on track with the goals of the Paris Agreement, and speed up the transition to a cleaner and healthier economy.”
EcoEngineers says it understands the importance of reaching a net zero future and aims to create a strategy for a clean energy future.

What schemes can companies get involved in to help reduce carbon emissions?
There are various schemes and initiatives that have aim to support companies to reduce carbon emissions including:
CORSIA-
The Carbon Offsetting and Reduction scheme for International Aviation is a global market based measure established by the International Civil Aviation Organisation.
The scheme aims to manage and reduce carbon emissions from international flights, requiring airplane operators to offset emissions through the use of carbon credits or purchasing aviation fuels.
The scheme is currently in its first phase, but will be moving to its mandatory second phase in 2027.
EU ETS-
The EU Emission Trading System was set up in 2005 as the world’s first carbon market.
The system requires polluters to pay for greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in the electricity, heat generation, industrial manufacturing and aviation sectors.
It operates in all EU countries, bringing down the cap of emissions every year it reports to have reduced emissions from European power and industry plants by 37% compared to 2005.
SBTi-
The Science Based Targets Initiative is a global collaboration that aims to support companies and financial institutions to set GHG emission reduction targets.
The company provides information to help companies align reduction goals with climate science, in keeping with the Paris Agreement.
If a company is accredited by the SBTi it means its reduction targets outlined have been approved ensuring it is credible and doable in the time frame the company has provided.
How can data and AI help accelerate sustainability aims?
While AI alone won’t solve the climate crisis, it does have the ability to dramatically speed up the process, according to the World Economic Forum.
The WEF says that AI has the ability to analyse large amounts of data much faster than humans, meaning it can gather data from various fields such as supply chains and power grids and uncover hidden connections and inefficiencies.
Alongside having a vast amount of knowledge the WEF reports that AI will be able to advance businesses capabilities and enhance systems, like analysing billions of possibilities to create sustainable products.
The IEA released a report outlining the benefits of AI in sustainability and energy, stating that AI improves the precision of exploration, streamlines production and enables real-time environmental monitoring.
It also reported that electricity grids also benefit as AI-based systems can forecast renewable energy generation more accurately, enabling better integration of wind and solar into power systems.
Dr Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the IEA, explains: “In recent years, AI has soared to the top of the political and business agenda.
“Once a mostly academic pursuit, it has evolved into an industry with trillions of dollars at stake.
“Despite significant uncertainties, it is now very clear: AI is coming. In many sectors, it is already here.”
