Welcome to Cold Call, where we dive deep into Harvard Business School's groundbreaking case studies. It's been 10 years since 195 nations signed the Paris Agreement, the landmark international treaty that formalized the concept of net zero emissions. Today, thousands of companies around the world have set ambitious goals to achieve net zero emissions, including Tata Power, India's oldest and largest private power producer.

Net-zero CO 2 emissions will occur when gross sources of CO 2 equal removals by sinks. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has a role in both reducing sources (through, for example, storing captured CO 2 from cement production and fossil-fuel combustion) and durably removing CO 2 from the atmosphere (for example, storing CO 2 captured from the atmosphere or biomass combustion). Despite its prominence in scientific and policy discourse, present deployment of CCS is small, with 49 MtCO 2 yr −1 of capture capacity in operation and 416 MtCO 2 yr −1 either planned or in construction10.

Asha Wheeldon faced numerous challenges, including COVID-19 and inflation, while striving to maintain her mission of achieving net zero emissions with Kula Foods.

"Having a net-zero energy facility is something all residents can be proud of," Mayor Olivia Chow said in the release.
