Climate change is a critical global challenge, primarily driven by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities. Among these gases, carbon dioxide (CO?) is a significant contributor to global warming. The concept of a carbon footprint quantifies the total GHG emissions associated with various activities, making it an essential tool for assessing environmental impact. This study explores carbon footprint calculation methods, emission trends, and potential reduction strategies. A key focus is carbon capture and utilization (CCU) within the chemical industry, which offers a pathway toward carbon neutrality. Additionally, national emission trends highlight fossil fuel dependency and the need for alternative energy sources. Strategies for reducing carbon footprints at both organizational and individual levels include the adoption of renewable energy, energy-efficient technologies, sustainable material choices, and improved waste management. Understanding and mitigating carbon footprints is crucial for fostering a sustainable future and combating climate change effectively.
