CE ÎNSEAMNĂ CARBON OFFSET ÎN ENGLEZĂ?
Carbon offset
O compensare a emisiilor de carbon reprezintă o reducere a emisiilor de dioxid de carbon sau de gaze cu efect de seră realizate pentru a compensa sau compensa emisiile produse în altă parte. Compensațiile carbonice sunt măsurate în tone metrice de dioxid de carbon echivalent și pot reprezenta șase categorii principale de gaze cu efect de seră: dioxidul de carbon, metanul, oxidul de azot, perfluorocarburile, hidrofluorocarburile și hexafluorura de sulf. O compensare a emisiilor de carbon reprezintă reducerea unei tone metrice de dioxid de carbon sau a echivalentului său în alte gaze cu efect de seră. Există două piețe pentru compensarea emisiilor de carbon. Pe piața mai mare, conformitatea, companiile, guvernele sau alte entități cumpără compensări de carbon pentru a se conforma cu limite maxime pentru cantitatea totală de dioxid de carbon pe care sunt autorizate să emită. Această piață există pentru a realiza respectarea obligațiilor părților din anexa 1 la Protocolul de la Kyoto și a entităților responsabile în cadrul sistemului de comercializare a emisiilor din UE. În 2006, aproximativ 5,5 miliarde de dolari au fost achiziționate pe piața de conformitate, reprezentând aproximativ 1,6 miliarde de tone metrice de reduceri ale emisiilor de CO2.
Definiția carbon offset în dicționarul Engleză
