Frequently Asked Questions
What are carbon credits?
Carbon credits are certificates representing the removal or avoidance of 1 tonne of CO2 equivalent from the atmosphere. Companies purchase these credits to offset emissions they cannot eliminate, achieving carbon neutrality.
How does the carbon market work?
The carbon market can be compliance or voluntary. In compliance markets, companies legally required to reduce emissions purchase credits. In voluntary markets, companies acquire credits for ESG goals. Reforestation, renewable energy, and methane capture projects generate the credits.
Who are the main certifiers?
Verra (VCS) and Gold Standard are the largest global certifiers. In Brazil, RenovaBio regulates the biofuel market. ACR (American Carbon Registry) and CAR (Climate Action Reserve) also operate in the American voluntary market.
