About Emissions Offsets

There are many organizations competing and colaborating in the United States to establish a  system for issueing, tracking and trading carbon offsets. The best options for a project owner is often difficult to discern.  We can help you navigate the options.

  • Chicago Climate Exchange
  • California Climate Action Registry
  • Voluntary Carbon Standard
  • The Climate Registry
  • Western Climate Initiative
  • Environmental Resource Trust
  • Clean Development Mechanism
  • Climate Trust
  • Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative
  • Climate Action Reserve
  • EPA Climate Leaders
  • Green-E / Center for Resource Solutions

Greenhouse gas offsets represent an intentional emissions reduction or sequestration and are calculated in metric tons of CO2 equivalent.  The value of the offset is influenced by many factors.  The following are essential: 

Verification

Third party verified according to international standards

Additionality

Clear evidence that greenhouse gasses are reduced intentionally and beyond what is required by law or "business as usual" practices

Sustainability

Premium offset projects contribute to development that is environmentally and economically sustainable

Carbon Credits to Avoid

We are committed to the highest international standards for offset. For this reason, we do not sell the following:

  • Non-additional RECs. We only support renewable energy projects that meet nationaly recognized eligibility requirements.
  • Carbon offsets that have been double counted. We insure that each offset has been verified and approved by a credible agency to assure that it is not being double counted.
  • Unverified tree planting. Standard Carbon only sells offsets generated by verified tree planting that has been registered and verified according to CDM, VCS, CCX, CCAR, or US Department of Energy 1605(b) standards
