CONT

«Carboneutre» signifie que le CO2 et les autres gaz à effet de serre, qui continuent d'être produits, sont compensés par des actions en nombre suffisant pour obtenir un «bilan» de zéro.

OBS

neutre en carbone : Lorsque cette expression est utilisée pour qualifier un État, une organisation ou une initiative, elle est erronée, car c'est plutôt leur bilan d'émissions de carbone respectif qui est carboneutre.

PHR

entreprise carboneutre, pays carboneutre, produit carboneutre
