Net Zero When a business has reduced its Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by as much as possible, leaving only ‘residual’ emissions, which cannot be removed. Current guidance from the SBTi states that for most businesses, this means a total reduction in emissions across all scopes by ~90%. Carbon removals should then be used to neutralise the residual emissions.
What’s the difference?
Carbon Neutral A carbon neutral business has committed to reducing emissions, and in the meantime balances its remaining emissions through carbon removal/ offsetting schemes.
Zero Emissions When no carbon is produced directly from a particular activity, product, or service (such as the running of an electric van or an electric cooker on electricity produced through solar power).
