Commitment to a Net-Zero Emissions future

While we all need to work to decarbonize the economy to achieve this goal, carbon offsetting is also going to play a major role.

In the carbon offsetting area, Repsol Foundation's star project is Motor Verde the largest-scale reforestation project in Spain and Portugal.

Forests are a natural climate solution as they absorb the CO2 we emit into the atmosphere.


What is a Carbon Footprint?

Living leaves a carbon footprint. Everything we consume has left a carbon footprint behind to reach us in transport and/or production. Every time we buy something or charge a phone or computer, when we travel, when we go out to eat, or grab a beer with friends, we’re leaving a carbon footprint behind.

That’s why it is important to implement projects that can remove this carbon emitted into the atmosphere. Under no circumstances should this replace efforts to reduce the carbon footprint, however.
