What Are Carbon Credits?

Carbon credits are like a balancing act for greenhouse gas emissions. Each credit gives you the right to emit one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) or shows that this amount has been taken out of the atmosphere. These credits play a crucial role in helping us achieve climate goals by enabling governments, companies, or organizations to buy them from projects that cut down or eliminate emissions, such as renewable energy initiatives or forest restoration efforts. You can find credits being traded in two main markets: compliance markets, which help meet legal emissions limits, and voluntary markets, where companies buy them to offset their emissions and reach their sustainability targets.

How Carbon Credits Function

In systems like cap-and-trade, carbon credits serve as permits that cap the amount of CO2 emissions allowed, with the overall limit gradually decreasing over time. Organizations can also utilize these credits to balance out their unavoidable emissions, which helps lower their total carbon footprint. These credits can be exchanged among various parties like governments, businesses, and institutions creating a worldwide market for reducing emissions. This approach not only supports environmental projects but also encourages practices that save emissions.

Benefits and Project Types

Carbon credits play a crucial role in fighting climate change by channelling funds into projects that either reduce emissions or actively remove CO2 from the atmosphere. They assist organizations in reaching their climate goals, complying with international agreements like the Paris Accord, and providing financial backing for meaningful initiatives. The types of projects that earn these credits include nature-based solutions such as reforestation, the development of renewable energy sources, and carbon capture technologies that effectively eliminate CO2 for good.
