Carbon Offsets

Summary

Carbon offsets are a market-based mechanism allowing individuals and companies to invest in environmental projects to balance out their carbon emissions.

Detailed Description

Carbon offsets represent a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, such as CO2, which can be used to compensate for emissions produced elsewhere. Each offset credit typically represents one metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent. Organizations can purchase these offsets to counteract their emitted carbon, making their operations more environmentally friendly. Offsets come from projects like reforestation, renewable energy installations, or emission reduction initiatives.
