What is the carbon footprint?<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carbon footprint is the calculation of the amount of greenhouse gases emitted, directly or indirectly, over a period of time. Although GHGs include not only carbon dioxide (CO<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) but also gases such as methane (CH<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) or nitrous oxide (N<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">O), it is called a carbon footprint because it is carbon dioxide that has the highest concentration. The increase in the levels of these gases in the atmosphere over the last decades is one of the main causes behind climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The World Meteorological Organisation points out that current atmospheric CO<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> levels are similar to those existing on our planet more than three million years ago, when the earth&#8217;s thermometer was almost 3\u00b0C higher and sea levels were 10 to 20 metres higher than they are today.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>2. How are CO2 emissions calculated?<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The calculation of CO<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> emissions changes depending on the type of fuel that emits them, as well as the way in which they are generated. In business, one of the most widespread classifications is that of scopes:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; <b>Scope 1.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These are the direct emissions that an organisation or entity has and that are produced by the burning of fossil fuels in the processes under its control. For example, emissions from the fossil fuel used by the machinery used in its production chain or from its transport fleet. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; <b>Scope 2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These are the indirect emissions associated with the generation of electricity purchased and consumed by the organisation. They are considered indirect as they are not under the direct control of the organisation. For example, electricity purchased to run equipment does not emit the same levels of GHGs if it comes from renewable sources or fossil fuel sources.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; <b>Scope 3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These are also considered as indirect emissions and include those produced by the different elements of the organisation&#8217;s value chain, both upstream (e.g. emissions from suppliers) and downstream (e.g. emissions generated by customers in the use of products or services).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>3. What is carbon neutrality??<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p>Achieving carbon neutrality means achieving a balance between CO2 emissions that are released into the atmosphere and those that are removed. Experts say the best way is to eliminate emissions at source. Once the maximum possible reduction has been achieved, offsetting of the remaining emissions is addressed until neutrality is reached. There are several options to achieve this offsetting, such as carbon sinks, which are natural reservoirs &#8211; oceans and forests, for example &#8211; that absorb and capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, thereby reducing its presence in the air.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>4. What does it mean to be zero carbon?<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p>We talk about zero carbon when there are no carbon emissions during the activity carried out to produce a good or service. For example, a commercial building is considered zero-emission if it runs entirely on clean or renewable energy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>5. What is it to be carbon negative??<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p>Carbon negative arises when a person, company or sector removes more GHGs than emitted, thus generating a positive impact on the atmosphere. From 2050 onwards, it will be necessary to eliminate more greenhouse gases than are emitted to ensure that future generations have the environment and natural resources necessary for their sustainability.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>6. How can carbon be removed from the atmosphere?<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p>By capturing CO2 from a point source, such as a power plant or factory, before it is emitted into the atmosphere. Once captured, the CO2 is safely stored or used as a raw material in other production processes.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, there are other mechanisms for removing carbon from the atmosphere. These include reforestation, ocean fertilisation to increase phytoplankton uptake and projects to avoid deforestation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>7.

EU member states must reduce their GHG emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and achieve GHG neutrality by 2050.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To achieve these aims, measures such as investing in environmentally friendly technologies, developing clean transport methods, decarbonising the energy sector or facilitating the financing of green projects have been proposed.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>8. What is the role of renewable hydrogen in carbon neutrality??<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renewable hydrogen is one of the ideal energy carriers to combat climate change. It is a clean and versatile energy, produced using electricity from renewable sources such as wind, solar and hydroelectric power, which do not emit GHGs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Roadmap to Net Zero by 2050, published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in 2021, states that hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels, provided they are produced with low CO<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">emissions, have a key role to play in achieving carbon neutrality.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>9. What can citizens do to achieve carbon neutrality?<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p>Making changes at home, in transport or in some daily habits can contribute to reducing your personal carbon footprint. In the case of housing, it is possible to use energy efficiency measures, such as thermal insulation, low-energy appliances, or making the most of natural light.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of mobility, as well as thinking about alternatives that run on low-emission energy sources, there are options such as car sharing, using public transport, cycling or walking where possible, for example.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>10.
