Avoidance Carbon Credits
Avoidance carbon credits represent emissions reductions achieved by preventing greenhouse gas emissions that would have otherwise occurred.
A carbon credit is a commodity that represents one metric ton of carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) or an equivalent amount of another greenhouse gas (COâ‚‚e). These credits are registered in reference to international methodologies. Our carbon credits are registered on international registries using international methodologies.
Key features of avoidance of carbon credits include emissions preventions, renewable energy projects, energy efficiency, avoidance deforestation and methane capture.
