What is a carbon credit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA carbon credit represents one ton of carbon dioxide (CO\u2082) that has been avoided or removed from the atmosphere thanks to an environmental protection project. For example, reforestation, a renewable energy plant, or a methane capture initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These credits can be bought or sold in the so-called carbon market<\/strong>, as a way to offset emissions that cannot be immediately avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhy do carbon credits exist?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe voluntary carbon market is emerging as a way to channel funding toward projects that help mitigate climate change. Companies that are not yet able to reduce their emissions by 100% can offset a portion by supporting these types of initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Far from being a \u201clicense to pollute,\u201d offsetting is part of a comprehensive approach: First you measure, then you reduce, and what cannot be avoided is compensated for.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhat types of projects generate credits?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nCarbon credits can come from a wide variety of initiatives, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Forest conservation or restoration<\/strong>, avoiding deforestation (REDD+),
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Renewable energy<\/strong>, such as solar, wind or hydroelectric,
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Capture of greenhouse gases<\/strong>, such as methane in landfills,
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Regenerative agriculture<\/strong>, with sustainable practices,
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Waste management and composting<\/strong>,
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Clean kitchens<\/strong> to replace polluting sources in rural areas.
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nLatin America plays a leading role in many of these projects, with enormous potential for local generation and benefits for communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhat makes a loan reliable?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA carbon credit must be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Additional<\/strong>: the climate benefit would not have occurred without the project,
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Measurable and verifiable<\/strong> by an independent entity,
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Permanent<\/strong>, that is, with low risk of reversal,
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Only<\/strong>, to prevent it from being counted more than once.
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nProjects are registered and certified under standards such as Verra (VCS)<\/strong>, Gold Standard<\/strong>, among others, which guarantee the quality of the credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhat types of credits exist?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Avoided carbon credits<\/strong>: when a project prevents a future emission, such as protecting a forest.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Removal credits<\/strong>: when a project removes carbon from the atmosphere, as occurs with reforestation or direct capture technologies.
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nBoth types are valid, although there is growing interest in those that eliminate carbon, due to their long-term potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nHow much does a carbon credit cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe price varies depending on the type of project, certification, region, and associated social impact. It can range from a few dollars per ton to $15, $30, or more, especially for projects with additional benefits for communities or biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There's no one-size-fits-all price. That's why it's important to seek expert advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhat benefits does it bring to a company?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Move towards the climate neutrality<\/strong>,
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Reduce reputational risks,
<\/li>\n\n\n\n - Comply with ESG standards and sustainability reporting,
<\/li>\n\n\n\n - Access new markets or incentives,
<\/li>\n\n\n\n - Support local projects with positive impact.
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nPlease note:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nCan a company stop reducing its emissions if it buys credits?<\/strong>
<\/strong> No. Compensation does not replace downsizing. It's a complement while we move toward a deeper transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is the difference between the voluntary and regulated markets?<\/strong>
<\/strong> The regulated market is defined by laws or public policies. In the voluntary market, companies participate by choice, as part of their environmental or strategic commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat happens if a project fails?<\/strong>
<\/strong> Certification standards include mechanisms for replacing credits if problems arise (such as wildfires), and require risk management plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nHow to get started?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf your organization wants to participate in the carbon market, DelPlata Green can help you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Measure the carbon footprint,
<\/li>\n\n\n\n - Define a reduction and compensation strategy,
<\/li>\n\n\n\n - Buy credits verified and aligned with your goals,
<\/li>\n\n\n\n - Or even, sell credits<\/strong>, if you lead an eligible project in the region.
