Carbon offset

Dear all,

A friend of mine is going to work on a project on "Carbon offset and Greenhouse gas"

Greenhous gas = effet de serre.

What does "carbon offset" means ?

Luna
It's the part where companies offset their CO² pollution by planting trees, buying rights to pollute...
Désolé Luna, je n'avais pas vu que tu étais française.
Le sens est celui que j'ai dit, maintenant pour une traduction exacte:

Compensation de ses émissions en CO²...
Carbon offsets are growing in popularity. A carbon offset is a credit that an individual or organization can purchase to negate a carbon footprint. When the number of carbon offsets obtained is equal to an individual or organization's carbon footprint, that person or organization is carbon neutral.
