Carbon Offsets
Carbon offsets refer to a reduction or removal of carbon or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that can offset the same amount of emissions from another location. Carbon offset credits are created when activities like methane capturing and reforestation reduce or remove GHGs. Those credits can then be bought, sold and traded to offset emissions from other locations. One carbon offset generally represents one metric ton of emission reductions or sequestration, and pricing can range from less than $10 per ton to hundreds of dollars per ton, depending on the type of project.
