Science - Environment & Ecology
Norwegian term or phrase: klimanøytral
• Kjøper ”grønt sertifikat” på 2200 MWh. Dette er garantert fornybar energi, som kommer fra vannkraft (90%) og vindkraft (10%)
• Har klimanøytral bilpark via kjøp av CO2 kvoter
• Har kjøpt CO2 kvoter for alle våre flyreiser

I was wondering if 'carbon-neutral parking' would work here. There are some Google hits.

  -> I was thinking car fleet was more of a company thing, whereas car population would work better for a country. Blame it on ordnett.no :-). Mind you, they also list "stock of vehicles/cars" and "motor vehicle population", which could be used.
