Assessing carbon credit quality before you buy
Not all carbon credits represent the same thing. Registry, project type, vintage, and additionality all affect whether a credit is a genuine reduction or a paper claim — this piece sets out what to check.
This topic is confirmed and the outline below reflects what the published article will cover. The full text has not been written yet — nothing on this page should be read as finished editorial content.
This article is a placeholder. The published version will cover how to evaluate carbon credit quality across registry, methodology, project type, vintage, and additionality, and where credits fit relative to direct emissions reduction.
Draft outline: (1) why credits should follow reduction effort, not substitute for it, (2) registry and methodology basics — Verra, Gold Standard, and how they differ, (3) additionality and permanence in plain terms, (4) red flags that should trigger deeper due diligence before purchase.
Full article coming soon.
