The international standard ISO 14068 for „Greenhouse gas management and related activities – Carbon Neutrality“ is to provide clear definitions for CO2 neutrality. The climate crisis is prompting politicians, administrators and businesses to respond to this global challenge with increasuing demands for carbon neutrality. Public and private organizations of all kinds are spurring efforts to…
