Permanent Offsets
Offsets that are long-lasting or guaranteed to be replaced in the event of a loss. This is one of four factors to consider when acquiring carbon offsets.
Real Offsets
Carbon offsets that have already actually reduced carbon emissions, as opposed to those that are expected to do so in the future.
Reforestation
Reforestation is the process of planting trees in a forest where the number of trees has been decreasing.
Tech-based offset
This assessment represents the value of one voluntary carbon credit from the technology-based sector that are ineligible for Corsia registration.
Such projects include renewable energy and landfill gas
Nature Based Offset
Nature-based offsets sourced exclusively from agriculture, forestry, and other land use projects
