How Carbon Offsets Work

After the projects are completed, the reductions are verified by a third party and credits representing the amount of carbon prevented from entering our atmosphere are issued. These credits are a vital tool in combating climate change as they provide the funding to make these projects a reality.

The owner of the project is able to sell the offsets in order to get back some of the high costs of implementing the projects. The more credits they are able to sell the more projects they are able to complete.

By purchasing these offsets for your business or home, you enable the development of more greenhouse gas reduction projects and help prevent further damage to our planet.

Carbon Markets, Inc. will "retire" these credits on your behalf. Retiring these credits guarantees they are not able to be sold again, ensuring your contributions result in a permanent reduction.
