Carbon Offsetting
Even when reducing energy use and switching to renewable energy, some greenhouse gas emissions are hard to eliminate.
Emissions that cannot be avoided can be neutralized by financing emission reduction elsewhere.

Offset Unavoidable Emissions
Carbon offset credits are tradable certificates representing the reduction or removal of one ton of CO2 or its equivalent from the atmosphere. These credits are generated by verified projects that actively reduce, avoid, or capture greenhouse gas emissions.
By purchasing carbon offset credits, companies can counterbalance their emissions and support projects that reduce carbon elsewhere. Companies calculate their carbon footprint and purchase offset credits to cover emissions that cannot be eliminated directly, such as those in the value chain from transportation or manufacturing.
Why Choose Verified Carbon Offset Credits?
Why Choose Verified Carbon Offset Credits?
The effectiveness of this approach depends on the credibility of the offset projects, which must be verified by recognized standards to ensure they result in real emission reductions.
Third-party verification guarantees that the emission reductions are measurable, permanent, and additional to what would have occurred without the offset project.
Standards offer rigorous validation process to provide confidence to buyers that their offsets truly contribute to meaningful economic, environmental and social benefits.

FAQs on Carbon Offsetting
FAQs on Carbon Offsetting
Is carbon offset and carbon credit the same thing?
While related, they are not the same thing.
Carbon offsets represent a reduction or removal of greenhouse gas emissions to compensate for emissions made elsewhere. They are typically generated by projects that reduce, avoid, or sequester carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases.
Carbon credits are tradable certificates or permits representing the right to emit one tonne of carbon dioxide or equivalent greenhouse gases. They are often used in cap-and-trade systems to regulate emissions.

What’s the difference between avoidance and removal of carbon projects?
Carbon avoidance projects, also known as emission reduction projects, focus on preventing or reducing greenhouse gas emissions that would have otherwise occurred. These projects aim to stop emissions before they enter the atmosphere, involve replacing high-emission activities with lower-emission alternatives, and include initiatives like renewable energy projects, energy efficiency improvements, and avoided deforestation.
Carbon removal projects actively remove CO2 or other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and store them for an extended period. These projects capture existing atmospheric emissions, store the captured carbon in various sinks (e.g., biomass, soil, geological formations), and can be nature-based or technological solutions.
