net-zero emissions
Balanced atmospheric output
Net-zero emissions describes a state where greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere are balanced by equivalent amounts removed, resulting in no net increase.
The term dominates climate policy discussions: The company pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
Critics note that "net" allows continued pollution offset by carbon capture or credits, rather than eliminating emissions outright.
