  We define a BV -type space in the setting of Carnot groups (i.e., simply
connected Lie groups with stratified nilpotent Lie algebra) that allows one to
characterize all distributions F for which there exists a continuous horizontal
vector field {\Phi}, vanishing at infinity, that solves the equation divH{\Phi}
= F. This generalize to the setting of Carnot groups some results by De Pauw
and Pfeffer, [12], and by De Pauw and Torres, [13], for the Euclidean setting.
