These credits are traded on carbon markets, with the aim of reducing carbon dioxide emissions and mitigating climate change. This blog post aims to provide an overview of carbon credits and their importance. What are Carbon Credits? Carbon credits are a tradable certificate that represents a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. One carbon credit represents one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions that have been prevented, reduced or removed from the atmosphere. Carbon credits are usually generated through projects that focus on reducing GHG emissions, such as renewable energy projects, energy efficiency projects, or reforestation projects. The process of carbon credits begins with a project developer who creates a project to reduce GHG emissions. This project is then verifi...
