Carbon neutrality

state of having net zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, that is, emitting no more CO2 than is extracted from the air e.g. via plant growth, where CO2 is emitted by industry, transport, energy, etc.
(Redirected from Carbon neutral)

Carbon neutrality refers to the goal of getting to net-zero carbon dioxide emissions to prevent or reduce global warming. This can be done by balancing emissions of carbon dioxide with its removal (often through carbon offsetting) or by eliminating emissions from society (the transition to the "post-carbon economy").[1] It is used in the context of carbon dioxide-releasing processes associated with transportation, energy production, agriculture, and industry.

Some countries are carbon neutral: Comoros, Gabon, Guyana, Madagascar, and Niue. While Bhutan, Panama, and Suriname are carbon-negative countries.[2]
