A carbon credit is a standard unit of measure for carbon emission reductions. One credit equals one tCO2e. People who eliminate GHG emissions can generate and sell carbon credits. People who want to offset their emissions can buy carbon credits. Carbon credits are generated through a variety of projects and technologies, ranging from reforestation initiatives that sequester (suck up) CO2, to micro-grid solar projects which substitute fossil fuel-based energy production with reliable clean sources of energy that don’t emit greenhouse gases into our atmosphere.
