There are hundreds of different types of carbon credits that can be split into two main categories. Avoidance and removal. Carbon avoidance projects prevent additional CO2 from entering the atmosphere. These projects include renewable energy (wind, solar, hydro), preventing deforestation and community-based projects such as efficient cookstoves. Carbon removal projects directly take CO2 out of the atmosphere. These projects include nature-based solutions (afforestation, peatland restoration, biochar carbon removal (BCR), enhanced rock weathering(ERW)), and engineered carbon removal such as direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS). At CCB, we specialise in UK based carbon removal projects. Get in touch to discuss the various offset solutions we can provide.
