Abstract：In the last decade, achieving carbon neutrality has become a major focus for various countries and economic sectors globally. Various techniques and planning tools have been proposed in order to achieve the carbon neutrality target by the mid of this century.  Carbon capture, utilisation and storage, as well as negative emission technologies are among those that have received good attention in recent years, apart from the conventional renewable energy.  For effective deployment of these technologies, various planning tools based on process system engineering were proposed for decarbonisation efforts at country or sectoral levels, such as insight-based carbon emission pinch analysis (CEPA) and mathematical programming methods.  These tools have received good attention and have been reported for use at various scales, ranging from product carbon footprint reduction, plant-level CO2 emissions reduction, to regional or nation-wide greenhouse emission avoidance. This talks presents some of these techniques developed in the past decade.
