Abstract—The rising impact of climate change from greenhouse gas emissions urges industries worldwide to implement strategies to achieve carbon neutrality. Various implementation plans may be utilized to achieve carbon neutrality. This study performs a systematic review to identify key carbon neutrality methods in various industries. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement and the frequency analysis are used to extract key carbon neutrality methods. The results reveal four carbon-intensive industries: electricity, chemical, construction, and transportation. Four implementation methods commonly used include renewable energy, carbon sequestration, carbon capture and storage, and clean energy vehicles. Solar, wind, and biomass are renewable energy sources increasingly used in various industries. Biomass is increasingly used in the chemical and transportation industries. Carbon sequestration can be applied in all industries as soil, oceans, and forests absorb CO2. Carbon capture and storage is used in industries with high CO2 generation, like power plants and cement manufacturing. This technology can capture CO2 during the production processes, especially heating and boiling, thus stopping the emissions from being released into the atmosphere. Clean energy vehicles, such as battery and fuel cell electric vehicles, are becoming popular in the transportation sector, specifically in Europe, America, and China. The study results provide insights into methods to achieve carbon neutrality in different industries. Related stakeholders may use the results to plan for the implementation effectively.
