Strategy firm BCG pledges net-zero impact, eyes ‘carbon positive’ future. Beyond 2030, BCG aspires to be "climate positive" — by removing more carbon dioxide emissions from the atmosphere on an ongoing basis than it actually emits through its own activities. Heather Clancy. Tue, 09/01/2020 - 00:02.
Net zero can be achieved, first and foremost, by cutting or eliminating greenhouse gas emissions and, secondarily, by offsetting any remaining emissions through such actions as planting trees, investing in renewable energy projects that replace fossil-fuel energy, or investing in novel carbon-removal technologies such as direct air capture.
Apple committed on Tuesday to becoming carbon-neutral by 2030, pushing its ambitions far beyond its own corporate walls — already 100 percent powered by renewables — to include its vast supply chain and the lifecycle of all its products. Apple will increasingly rely on carbon-removal programs. technology giants.

million offset credits based on the carbon stored in its trees. million metric tons of carbon dioxide — or the equivalent of driving 560,000 cars around for one year. If a forest burns down, you didn’t keep carbon out of the atmosphere,” said Danny Cullenward, an energy economist at Stanford University. “So
But trees are increasingly being prized for one thing: their ability to capture carbon and counteract climate change. Indigenous peoples are getting pushed out of their lands because of carbon offset projects. Native grasslands are getting turned into forests, even though grasslands themselves are huge, overlooked reservoirs of carbon.
