Offsetting

Most companies and charities find that their scope for directly reducing and avoiding emissions is limited. Typically most organisations are able to reduce emissions by up to 50% below starting levels and thereafter further abatement becomes technically impossible or too expensive. In such instances the use of robust carbon offsets to "outsource" the creation of additional emission reductions becomes a viable option. Offsetting must, however, be carried out responsibly.

CarbonAided provides advice to companies on how to use offsets within their overall climate change strategy and also develops independently accredited Gold Standard, Clean Development Mechanism and Voluntary Carbon Standard offset projects. Please see the Projects section for information about our green projects.

Please contact us if you would like further information about how we can help your organisation to responsibly use carbon offsets.
