What are high quality carbon offset projects?
Many types of activities can generate carbon offsets. However, not all projects result in credible reductions in greenhouse gases and some cause other environmental and socio-economical problems. High quality offset projects can reduce emissions while providing sustainability benefits. Purchasing high-quality carbon offsets such as those from renewable energy & energy-efficiency projects helps make these projects economically competitive with fossil fuels, create jobs and know-how for the transition to a sustainable energy economy.
