carbon offsets

Read a random definition: Federal Emergency Management Agency

A quick definition of carbon offsets:

Carbon offsets are ways for companies or individuals to make up for the pollution they create. For example, if a company emits a lot of carbon dioxide into the air, they can buy carbon offsets to support projects that reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, like planting trees or investing in renewable energy. This helps to balance out the amount of pollution they create and can help to reduce the overall impact on the environment.

A more thorough explanation:

Carbon offsets are a way for companies to balance out the amount of carbon they release into the atmosphere by investing in projects that reduce carbon emissions elsewhere. These projects can include:

  • Planting trees
  • Investing in renewable energy sources
  • Carbon capture and storage

For example, a company that emits a certain amount of carbon may purchase carbon offsets to fund a project that plants trees. The trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, effectively offsetting the company's emissions.

Carbon offsets are often used in cap-and-trade programs, where companies are given a certain amount of carbon credits that they can trade with other companies. By purchasing carbon offsets, companies can offset their emissions and avoid having to purchase additional credits.
