How it works

Retiring carbon is the most effective and ethical method of carbon offsetting. We force industrial companies to pollute less by buying the permits they need and permanently removing them from the system. So rather than buying permits and continuing to pollute, these companies have to reduce their emissions.

Unlike other carbon offsetting services, we cancel allowances from the EU Emission Trading Scheme. Try watching our short animation, below. There is more information on how the EU Emission Trading Scheme works here.
