Antoine Geerinckx (1977) is de bezieler van CO2Logic, het allereerste Belgische bedrijf dat ondernemingen helpt een groener en duurzamer beleid te voeren door hun klimaatimpact te berekenen, te verminderen en te compenseren om CO2-neutraal te worden. Speciaal voor Alumni PHO heeft hij een lezing gegeven die FM-gericht en zeer actueel is : Hoe CO² aan elk bedrijf zuurstof geeft en de energierekening doet dalen.
Antoine Geerinckx (1977) est le moteur de CO2Logic, la première société Belge qui aide les entreprises à mettre en place une politique environnementale durable et plus verte. Il aide à calculer, diminuer ou compenser leur impact sur le climat et de ce fait devenir une entreprise sans émission de gaz à effet de serre. Il a donné une conférence spécialement pour Alumni PHO; axée sur le FM et adaptée à la situation actuelle : comment le CO2 donne de l'oxygène à chaque entreprise et fait réduire la facture d'énergie.

By 2050
9 billion humans
ecosystems can recycle 1.1 tons CO2 eq per person
today
we emit 13 tons CO2 eq per person.
(US 24t, China 5t, India 1,6t....)
so our emissions should be reduced by 92% (by 2050) !

CO2 Neutral ?
“CO2 neutral means that – through a transparent process of measuring emissions,
reducing those emissions and offsetting residual emissions –
net calculated CO2 emissions equal zero.”
