Net zero definition

Net zero or carbon neutral means that any carbon emissions released are offset, either by providing an equivalent amount of carbon-free energy to the market, or by buying an equivalent number of offsets. In the case of electricity, ‘net zero’ could be achieved by sending to the grid a quantity of electricity with zero emissions equal to the quantity of electricity taken from the grid.

Net zero means that the energy produced on-site over the period of a given year is equal to the installation’s energy demand. This implies a connection to a local power grid, which in a sense “banks” the energy. Thus on-site renewable resources, such as solar energy systems, may produce energy greater than that used by the installation during the day, with excess energy fed into the local grid. At night, when the solar system is not producing energy, the installation can pull the previously “banked” energy from the grid to net out the total consumption.

Net zero emissions means that the total of active removals from the atmosphere offsets any remaining emissions from the rest of the economy.”

More Definitions of Net zero

Net zero means that globally, we reach a point at which CO2 sources equal CO2 sinks.

Net zero means achieving overall, zero greenhouse gas emissions by balancing any emissions from energy use with carbon removal via a combination of reducing usage, changing to low or zero energy sources (i.e. renewable energy sources) changing agricultural and industrial processes and carbon offsetting.

Net zero means any residual emissions from IAG operations in 2050, or by the manufacture and transport of goods supplied to the Group, will be mitigated by an equivalent amount of CO2 removed from the atmosphere via carbon removals.

Net zero means that carbon emissions are minimised, and any remaining emissions are balanced by absorbing an equivalent amount from the atmosphere, via a process known as carbon offsetting. Carbon offsetting is an action or activity (such as the planting of trees, hedgerows or other biological, chemical, or physical processes) that achieves that absorption.

Net zero emissions means that the total of active removals from the atmosphere offsets any remaining emissions from the rest of the economy. The removals are expected to be important given the difficulty in entirely eliminating emissions from some sectors.

Net zero means limiting overall GHG emissions to 100% below 1990 levels, across the whole economy. Any remaining emissions

Net zero means focus on reductions and ramp up removals. On top, they can
