Carbon Crediting

Many activities generate greenhouse gases that are harmful to the environment, but some activities or projects, although insufficient in number, absorb greenhouse gases, creating a balance in nature. Carbon credit mechanisms involve the economic support of projects and systems that do not emit carbon and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, providing social and natural benefits, by individuals or organizations that generate greenhouse gases. People and organizations can turn to carbon credit mechanisms to offset their emissions, which supports sustainability projects that would not normally occur. Thus, a system is born that encourages carbon-positive companies to purchase carbon credits from carbon-negative companies or activities (climate-positive). This system, where those who protect nature are rewarded, creates additional income sources for carbon-negative companies.

In this mechanism, calculated as carbon credits, each carbon credit is a tradable unit representing one ton of CO2 equivalent prevented in the atmosphere. These credits are generated by different types of sustainable projects that either absorb carbon or prevent its release in the first place.

There are various types of carbon credits depending on the project that generates them.

Renewable energy projects

Forest and conservation projects

Waste-to-energy projects

Carbon capture systems

Once generated and approved by international independent parties, these carbon credits can be sold to companies and individuals as a way to offset their own carbon emissions. However, due to the lack of standardization in this area, it is not always clear what to look for when choosing carbon credits or how to measure the impact of the projects that generate them. It is crucial to choose a project certified by an internationally recognized standard: Transparency about a project's quality assurance and calculation methodology make the real difference. Reputable standards follow best practices to ensure these expectations are met.

As GreenCarbon, we ensure that power plants generating energy from renewable sources, carbon reduction projects, and afforestation efforts are validated by voluntary carbon reduction organizations. In this context, we calculate the data and present it in light of methodologies suitable for the validating organization to certify carbon credits. We support the development of economic growth models by paving the way for carbon offsetting processes for carbon-negative companies and formations in collaboration with our strategic stakeholders. The credits of all projects in our portfolio are certified by internationally recognized organizations. We work with our stakeholders to create a healthy and stable process throughout all stages, from the calculation process to the sale in voluntary markets within the carbon offsetting system.
