Importantly, by purchasing and paying up front for the long-term offsets, we provide the projects the financial equivalent of a much higher price paid over time – every dollar up front equates to $2 to $3 paid over time. BACK TO TOP Q: Explain in layman’s terms how CO2 reduction is achieved in your projects. It’s important that our methodologies be transparent to our customers who invest in our growing portfolio of projects. Disclosing our estimating methods allows
