offset credits

Offset credits are measurable units that represent a reduction or removal of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, from the atmosphere. They are generated when projects like reforestation, renewable energy, or methane capture prevent or diminish emissions. Organizations or individuals can purchase these credits to compensate for their own emissions, supporting environmentally beneficial initiatives. Essentially, offset credits act as a way to balance out emissions elsewhere, helping to achieve climate goals by funding projects that reduce overall greenhouse gases.
