Abstract

Achieving carbon neutrality has become a critical global objective, because of the urgent global challenge of climate change.It promotes the integration of advanced technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.Among these, AI has emerged as a transformation tool in accelerating pathways towards carbon neutrality.AI can optimize energy consumption, improve efficiency in Industrial processes and support the integration of renewable energy sources.Through predictive modelling, Machine learning algorithms can forecast energy demands and reduce carbon footprints.Key applications include Smart grid management, Predictive maintenance, Climate modelling and Carbon footprint tracking.AI enables policy making by analysing complex environmental data and forecasting outcomes of mitigation strategies.Furthermore, AI supports carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies by improving chemical process efficiency and identifying optimal storage sites.In addition, natural language processing and computer vision support environmental monitoring by analysing satellite imagery and sensor data to detect deforestation, methane leaks and other emission sources.However, the widespread applications of AI in carbon neutralization also presents challenges, including high computational energy demands, ethical considerations and the need for transparent, explainable models.Despite these limitations, AI offers a powerful, scalable and adaptable approach to driving climate action.By combining human expertise, policy frameworks and technological innovation, AI has the potential to serve as a cornerstone in global strategies for achieving carbon neutrality and fostering long -term environmental sustainability.
