An organization that produces net zero emissions of greenhouse gases is achieving:
A) Carbon offsets.
B) Carbon credits.
C) Carbon neutrality.
D) Black carbon.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carbon neutrality refers to an organization or a country that does not produce any net emissions of greenhouse gases. This means that they are not contributing to the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and thus not causing further climate change. A is incorrect because carbon offsets are a way of compensating for greenhouse gas emissions by investing in projects that remove carbon from the atmosphere. B is incorrect because carbon credits are certificates that allow companies to emit a certain amount of greenhouse gases and are often bought and sold in a carbon market. D is incorrect because black carbon specifically refers to carbon that is released from burning fossil fuels, biomass, or other organic matter, and has a higher warming potential than CO2.
