A carbon offset (or carbon credit) is an environmental commodity that represents one tonne of CO2 or equivalent greenhouse gas (CO2e). Offsets are measurable, verifiable emissions reductions that reduce, remove, or avoid greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. They are generated from projects that either prevent or remove emissions from the atmosphere altogether.
A carbon offset can represent an investment into a more sustainable economy, and the projects that create validated and verified offsets meet certain criteria. These validated and verified credits are listed on publicly accessible registries, where businesses can purchase and apply offsets against their own corporate emissions.
