Carbon credit provides a cost-effective, scalable and immediate solution to achieve reductions in our carbon footprints
What are carbon credits?
Carbon credits are generated by activities that reduce or remove emissions through nature-based solutions, such as afforestation or re-forestation and the protection of existing high carbon stock natural assets, for instance peatland or tropical forestry, or through technological innovation in renewable energy, energy efficiency or carbon capture and storage.
The market has been regulated for over 15 years and there are internationally recognised independent accreditation organisations such as the Gold Standard and Verra who only certify high-quality projects.
Carbon credits address the climate challenge
Carbon credits stimulate investment in projects and opportunities that help combat climate change.
These projects are reliant on carbon revenues and would otherwise be financially unviable.
