In the carbon market, credits are not all generated in the same way. They are typically organized by the type of project that produces the emission reductions or removals, such as forest restoration, renewable energy, waste management, agriculture, and improvements in industrial processes. In general, each credit corresponds to 1

Carbon credits are not all the same — understanding this difference is essential. First of all, it is important not to confuse the type of credit with the market in which it is used. The terms “compliance market” and “voluntary market” indicate where the instrument is applied — not necessarily

In the compliance market, governments establish mandatory emission limits for companies and sectors. Among the main instruments adopted globally are carbon taxes and cap-and-trade systems, in which organizations that emit below their limits can trade surplus allowances with those that exceed their quotas. Additionally, the Paris Agreement, through Article 6.2,

Project Proponent: The proponent is the entity that owns, documents, submits, and benefits from the carbon credits generated by a registered climate mitigation project. Project Developers: Organizations responsible for the design and implementation of projects that generate verifiable emission reductions or removals, such as reforestation initiatives, renewable energy, energy efficiency,

In the previous installment of our series, we explained what tCO₂e (tonne of CO₂ equivalent) means — the unit used to measure greenhouse gas emissions in the carbon market. But what does 1 ton of CO₂ equivalent represent in practice? When we translate this metric to everyday activities — such

In the carbon market, everything revolves around an acronym that may seem technical but is fundamental: tCO₂e. It stands for tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) — a standardized way of expressing the climate impact of different greenhouse gases in a single comparable unit. But why not talk only about
