What is the difference between net zero and carbon neutral?

Hi! I am Barbara Albert, the Co-CEO of 100% Renewables, a consultancy specialising in the development of net-zero strategies.

The world is rapidly moving towards a more sustainable future, and in order to achieve this, businesses and organisations are taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint. Two terms that are commonly used in this space are "carbon neutrality" and "net zero". But what is the difference between the two? While the terms may sound like they are referring to something very similar, in fact, the differences may be greater than you’d think.

About 100% Renewables:

100% Renewables is a national consultancy specialising in the development of net zero, carbon neutral and climate positive strategies. We work with large energy-using businesses and government organisations with ambitious climate action goals.

In addition to delivering net zero strategies and helping our clients achieve carbon neutrality under Climate Active, our other services are commercial and mid-scale solar feasibility and implementation support, carbon footprinting, science-based target setting, energy auditing, sustainable procurement, fleet transition strategies, financing climate action, and on-call services.

We are a leader in sustainability communication through our “Driving Net Profit with Zero Emissions” podcast and videos, and through our blog posts and monthly newsletters. We showcase examples of climate action leadership and provide answers to our followers’ questions so that others can learn from them and apply them to their own net zero journey.
