Carbon Avoidance
Carbon avoidance credits focus on activities that avoid the release of emissions. Examples include renewable energy projects, conservation, energy efficiency improvements, and the adoption of cleaner technologies. By investing in carbon avoidance credits, individuals and businesses can contribute to efforts to mitigate climate change by supporting projects that reduce potential future emissions.

Credit start: Nov 1, 2010
Credit end: Oct 31, 2070
This project has vintage years, which indicate the specific year when the carbon credits were issued. These credits correspond to the amount of CO2 avoided or captured by the project in that same year.

Carbon offsetting involves funding projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions to achieve a net zero carbon footprint. Each ton of carbon absorbed from the atmosphere equates to a carbon credit. To ensure these credits are genuine, they must be approved by independent organisations such as Verra or Gold Standard. These bodies verify that the projects genuinely benefit the environment and wouldn't have occurred without the support.
