Carbon offsetting

What is carbon offsetting?

Carbon offsetting is a pivotal practice empowering individuals and businesses to combat their carbon footprint. It involves acquiring offsetting credits equivalent to a specified volume of CO2 removal. Diverse methods exist for carbon offsetting, commonly through tree planting initiatives or investing in projects aimed at carbon removal.   

There are two types of carbon credits: voluntary emissions reduction (VER) and certified emission reduction (CER). VERs are exchanged in voluntary markets with no third-party oversight, and CERs have regulated investment vehicles offered through institutional carbon funds, with the primary purpose of offsetting a specific project’s emissions, for example, a new power plant. 

A carbon offset is essentially what happens to that carbon credit once it is purchased—a company balances or draws down a stated carbon credit inventory against its own carbon emissions.  

The voluntary carbon market enables private investors, governments, non-governmental organisations, and businesses to voluntarily purchase carbon offsets to offset their emissions.
