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, the Repsol Foundation's star project is Green Engine, 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?
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.

Green Engine Goals
16 million
Tn of CO2 to offset
Trees naturally absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and store it in their tissue to keep growing.
70.000
hectares to replant
The goal is to recover uncultivated land or land affected by wildfires by planting indigenous species of plants.
