Below you will find the answers to frequently asked questions about carbon offsetting.
What is a Carbon Offset Project?
Carbon offsetting refers to compensating for your individual,
corporate, or product carbon footprint by funding environmental
projects which help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the
atmosphere.
And it is our only weapon in the quest of fighting climate change,
making the planet greener and its resources sustainable.
Emission-reduction projects are implemented in different countries,
varying from energy efficiency to renewable energy, forestry to
landfill.
You too can help save the world’s unique assets by tackling climate
change and make a real change in our future by investing in one of
these projects via Co2nsensus.
Who Verifies Carbon Offset Projects?
The verification of carbon offsetting projects is crucial.
Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the offset projects you’re
funding are compliant with regulations and standards and have
credible certifications.
The Gold Standard (GS) and the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) are
the global validators of carbon offset projects, assessing their
adequacy and effectiveness.
In 2003, Hello International, SouthSouthNorth (SSN), and World Wide
Fund for Nature (WWF) collaboratively developed the Gold Standard
for the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). Following that, the
collaboration developed the VCS validation.
If an offsetting project is compliant with both international
validations, it means that the project is verified and approved by
the Standard Advisory Board of scientists, project developers, NGOs,
and government representatives.
At Co2nsensus, we only offer projects compliant with both the Gold
Standard and VCS. So, when you invest in a project with us, it means
your carbon reduction is real, effective, and permanent. It also
means that the money you’re spending plays an essential role in
achieving the global goals of sustainable development and creating a
sustainable future.

How do Carbon Offset Projects Contribute to the UN Sustainability Goals?
The United Nations has developed a global partnership to provide
peace and prosperity for people and the planet.
They have established various sustainability goals, including no
poverty, clean water & sanitation, affordable & clean energy, decent
work, and economic prosperity.
A carbon offset project contributes to these goals and helps bring
sustainable development benefits such as improved air and water
quality, reduced energy consumption, and much more.
The projects on Co2nsensus address almost all the UNSDG (UN
Sustainable Development Goals) and help you make a real difference
in the world.
How do Carbon Offset Projects work?
Once you reduce waste and source most of your energy requirements
from renewable energy sources, the rest is done by carbon
offsets.
A carbon offset is basically a trading system where you buy carbon
credits to compensate for the carbon emissions caused by you, your
business, or various other activities. For instance, if you drive a
car and cause 1 tonne of CO2 emissions in a year, you invest in an
offset (carbon reduction) project such as reforestation, which will
compensate for your carbon emission by reducing carbon from the
atmosphere.
As a result, a carbon balance is maintained in the atmosphere,
directly affecting climate change and global sustainability.
Types of Carbon Offset Projects
Carbon offset projects are essential in achieving the UN sustainability goals. At Co2nsensus, we offer various international carbon offsetting projects:
Forestry Projects (Reforestation) 
Atmospheric carbon dioxide forms the overwhelming majority of global
greenhouse gas emissions, and for a long time, has been known to play
a significant role in climate change.
That said, forestry projects are among the most effective solutions to climate change as forests play a vital role in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Forestry projects lead to carbon removals, enhance the health and well-being of the environment by avoiding deforestation, managing forests in a more sustainable way, and restoring ruined land to forests.

Renewable Energy Projects 
Renewable energy plays a key role in cutting carbon emissions
worldwide. To have a more sustainable use of energy and a greener
future, you can choose one of the renewable energy projects in
Co2nsensus.
By investing in one of these projects, you can offset your carbon emissions and contribute to reducing air pollution and improving public health.

Hydropower Projects 
Human activity is overloading our atmosphere with carbon dioxide and
other gas emissions, causing global warming. These gases act like a
blanket, trapping heat, resulting in rising ocean temperatures,
droughts, and many other serious environmental issues.
On the other hand, hydropower projects are central to fighting global warming. Moving water is a powerful energy source harnessed to provide clean, fast, and flexible electricity generation.
Hydropower is currently the largest renewable electricity source and represents a reliable and domestic resource. With Co2nsensus, invest in a hydropower project and offset your carbon footprint.

Landfill Projects 
Worldwide increases in fossil fuel-based road power generation
contribute to elevated air pollution levels. Using landfill gas to
generate energy and reduce emissions produces positive environmental
outcomes.
The landfill projects at Co2nsensus address the UN sustainability goals. Contribute to one of our landfill projects and help reduce air pollution while reducing your carbon footprint.

Solar Carbon Offsetting Projects 
Solar energy is renewable, and it’s green because it relies
exclusively on solar energy, which is always free and available.
Solar energy is a vast resource that can contribute to low-carbon power generation. By investing in a solar energy project with Co2nsensus and offsetting your carbon footprint, you can make a huge positive impact on the environment.

Energy Efficiency Projects 
The less energy consumed, the fewer emissions caused. Therefore,
energy efficiency is the key to reducing our direct greenhouse gas
emissions.
Besides, it provides multiple public benefits aside from its carbon emission impacts. It reduces home and business energy costs, improves productivity and stimulates economic growth.
Co2nsensus engages in various energy efficiency projects to reduce energy consumption and improve overall sustainability. The main goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Choose your energy efficiency projects via Co2nsensus and start offsetting your carbon footprint.
