Question 1

What is a carbon footprint?

Accepted Answer

It is an indicator that reflects the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions that are released into the atmosphere as a result of direct or indirect human activities in an activity, process, event or anthropogenic action.

There are three types of carbon footprints:

• Corporate or business carbon footprints: We evaluate and measure the total greenhouse gas emissions produced by a company in all its operations.
 • Carbon footprints of events: We calculate the emissions generated during the life cycle of the event, including the stages of Planning, Assembly, Operation and Dismantling.
 • Product carbon footprints: We analyze the complete life cycle of a product, from the extraction of raw materials to its final disposal, to determine its environmental impact.

Question 2

What are greenhouse gas emission reductions?

Accepted Answer

Emission reductions are actions and strategies implemented to decrease the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere as a result of various human activities. This includes practices such as optimizing energy use, implementing efficient technology, and transitioning to renewable energy sources.

Question 3

What is carbon neutrality?

Accepted Answer

This refers to the state in which an organization, product, service, or event achieves a net balance of greenhouse gas emissions, offsetting the emissions generated with an equivalent amount of emission reductions or absorptions elsewhere. This is generally achieved through a combination of direct emissions reductions and offsetting the remaining emissions through CO2 absorption projects, such as reforestation or investments in renewable energy.

Question 4

What is zero carbon or net zero?

Accepted Answer

The term "carbon zero" or "net zero" refers to the balance between the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted into the atmosphere and the amount removed from it. This means that to achieve carbon zero status, a company should implement measures to reduce its CO2 emissions to a minimum and offset the remaining emissions by purchasing certified carbon credits.
