Abstract:Carbon neutral technology is a new technology system that aims to reduce carbon emissions and increase carbon fixation, with energy saving, emission reduction and efficiency enhancement being the core, and it is mainly divided into three categories, including greenhouse gas capture technology, greenhouse gas storage technology and low-carbon or zero-carbon new energy technology. Applying carbon neutralization technology to the construction of beautiful China can not only effectively promote the transformation of China's energy structure and the progress of science and technology, but also accelerate the improvement of the eco-environment and the development of a green economy. By expounding the related concepts and development status of carbon neutralization technology, this review analyzes the effective ways to achieve carbon neutralization and further discusses how carbon neutralization technology can help construct a beautiful China. The results showed that the current research fields on carbon neutralization technology mainly include hydrogen energy, electrochemistry, green chemistry, energy-saving technology, energy storage technology, waste resource recovery, and synthetic biology. The emergence of these new energy and technologies can not only greatly improve the efficiency of energy utilization, but also promote the development of green and clean technologies. In addition, carbon neutralization technology can also reduce the emission of pollutants, enhance the efficient use of resources, assist the establishment of a low-carbon energy system, and promote the improvement of an ecological civilization system, to contribute to the construction of beautiful China.
