Frequently Asked Questions
-
A carbon credit represents one metric tonne of carbon dioxide (or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases) that has been reduced, avoided, or removed from the atmosphere. Credits are generated by verified projects, such as renewable energy, reforestation, or clean cookstoves, and can be traded or purchased by individuals and organisations to offset their emissions and support climate action.
-
Carbon credits are generated when a verified project reduces, avoids, or removes greenhouse gas emissions compared to a baseline scenario. Examples include clean energy installations, reforestation, and improved cookstoves. Independent standards, such as Gold Standard or Verra, measure and confirm the reduction in emissions. Each verified tonne of CO₂ (or equivalent) avoided or removed becomes one carbon credit, which can then be traded or purchased to offset emissions elsewhere.
-
The voluntary carbon market allows businesses, organisations, and individuals to purchase carbon credits to offset their emissions as part of corporate social responsibility or sustainability goals. The compliance carbon market is regulated by governments or international agreements, requiring certain entities to offset emissions to meet legal obligations. Compliance markets operate under strict caps and rules, while voluntary markets provide flexibility, innovation, and a broader variety of project types. Both play important roles in funding climate action.
-
Our projects are designed and implemented to meet globally recognised standards, ensuring environmental integrity, transparency, and measurable results. We prioritise projects that deliver additional benefits beyond carbon reductions, such as improved health and economic development. Every project undergoes rigorous third-party auditing, continuous monitoring, and stakeholder engagement to guarantee long-term impact and prevent double counting. This commitment ensures our credits represent genuine, lasting climate benefits backed by credible data and independent verification.
-
We work exclusively with internationally recognised bodies like Gold Standard and Verra. Independent auditors validate each project before it begins and verify it periodically to confirm emissions reductions are real, measurable, and permanent. This process includes on-site inspections, data analysis, and stakeholder consultation. Only after passing all verification steps are credits issued, registered, and traceable on public ledgers, ensuring full transparency and accountability for every tonne of CO₂ reduced or removed.
-
The cost of a carbon credit varies depending on the type of project, its location, the standard used, and the benefits it delivers. Factors such as biodiversity protection, community development, and technology used all influence value. We provide transparent details so you understand exactly what your purchase supports.
-
All our credits are issued and retired through internationally recognised registries, such as Gold Standard or Verra. Each retired credit is assigned a unique serial number and permanently marked as used, ensuring it can’t be resold. We provide buyers with official documentation confirming retirement in their name for complete transparency.
