Tottenham Hotspur to host world’s first net zero carbon football game

In the UK, Tottenham Hotspur has partnered with Sky to host the world’s first net zero carbon football game at an elite level.

The September 19 game against Chelsea at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is supported by COP26 and the Premier League, and will be branded #GameZero, with the ambition of being net zero carbon. This is achieved when all direct emissions are reduced as much as possible, with the remainder offset through natural projects that remove emissions from the atmosphere.

Both sets of players will head to the stadium on a coach that is running on renewable diesel produced from food waste products and reduces carbon emissions significantly.
