Bhutan, world's first and only carbon negative country

[Ajay0]

Bhutan is the world's first and only carbon negative country, meaning the greenhouse pollution it generates is offset-ted by by its extensive forests, but also in the negative due to the generation and export of renewable energy.

Figures show that Bhutan generates only 1.1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2), but the forest sequesters far more CO2 than this. This means they are a net carbon sink for millions of tonnes of CO2 each year. Additionally, Bhutan exports most of the renewable electricity generated by its fast-flowing rivers to India, driving the country into carbon negative status. At this rate, by 2020, Bhutan will be exporting enough electricity to offset 17 million tonnes of CO2 annually.
