what is a carbon credit?
One carbon credit represents 1 Tonne of CO 2 that is
prevented from entering the atmosphere and causes climate
change. The carbon credits from international renewable
energy projects that World Expeditions support are an
internationally recognised measure of how much greenhouse
gas reduction a renewable energy project is created.
when you purchase a carbon credit
� You receive the rights to the emissions you saved. You
can say “I have funded a project that saved ‘X’ tonnes of
CO2 .”
� You are giving a financial incentive that makes renewable
energy projects viable. Without it, renewable energy
projects would not be built.
how credits help the clean energy industry
Renewable energy currently costs more to produce than
burning fossil fuels. The extra income renewable generators
earn from selling carbon credits is the key factor that helps
make renewable energy sources economically viable so that
we can make the urgent transition from unsustainable
polluting energy to clean sources. This is necessary to
address climate change.
