Zero Carbon means energy which results in net zero carbon emissions released into the atmosphere. This could include renewable energy from solar and wind, assisted with batteries to match supply with demand. Also energy from hydro or geo-thermal sources.

The Project makes it is easier for energy suppliers to compete with fossil fuels on price by allowing them to source their electricity locally from fossil fuels but then offsetting these carbon emissions by subsidising carbon reduction projects elsewhere in the world, using international carbon credits.

Zero carbon may also be sourced from nuclear generators.
