Carbon offsets represent reductions in GHG emissions as a result of project activities. Project types span various categories: methane capture at landfills, in agriculture or at coal mines; forestry; energy efficiency; and renewable projects which displace coal/natural gas generation.
Institutions and individuals purchase offsets for multiple reasons:
- To manage carbon liabilities
- To advance corporate sustainability goals while minimizing costs
- To support the development of a “green” brand
- To comply with existing market regulations or to anticipate future regulations
- To understand and gain expertise in emerging carbon markets
Additionally, organizations can purchase offsets to support specific project types or in specific geographies.
High-quality carbon credits are those that are real, measurable, permanent, and additional.
- Real: – The project reductions must be proven to have genuinely taken place. Consequently, it’s important that emissions reductions are verified by an objective third party.
- Measurable: – Emissions should be quantified using recognized measurement tools or in accordance with robust methodologies.
- Permanent: – Reductions should be permanent and unlikely to be reversed.
- Additional: – The project activity should not be one which is mandated by any local or federal regulations. Moreover, revenue from the sale of credits should contribute significantly to ensuring that the project is viable.
Element Markets remains committed to sourcing high-quality offset credits, and tailors its carbon management offerings to meet each organization’s unique needs.
