How Carbon Offset Works

Blue Sky Carbon Solution, Inc

Now that we are all responsible for climate change, we must all be part of the solution. Blue Sky Carbon Solution makes it simple for anyone, or any organization, to reduce and offset their carbon emissions. A carbon offset is a financial instrument aimed at a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon offsets are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO₂e) and may represent six primary categories of greenhouse gases. One carbon offset represents the reduction of one metric ton of carbon dioxide or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases. In other words, a carbon offset represents a reduction in emissions somewhere else - like renewable energy or a reforestation project - to balance out the emissions you generated but cannot reduce. Also, carbon offsets are the only way to get your carbon footprint to zero today.This is how it works:

2. Buying Blue Sky Carbon Credits to Offsets Your Carbon Emissions.

Your Carbon Credit Dollars are used to support projects that reduce carbon emissions

Blue Sky Carbon Solution supports domestic and international renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects that reduce carbon dioxide emissions. All of our projects meet the highest standards and are third-party validated to ensure that your donation makes a positive impact. Read more on our Blue Sky Carbon Solution Projects.

We retire offsets in your behalf

When you purchase carbon credits, we retire offsets from our projects. When we purchase carbon offsets or support a carbon reduction project, we obtain the right to the emission reductions. Many groups buy these rights and then use them to pollute or sell them. We buy the carbon reductions and retire them, hence take them out of circulation forever.

Yes, it is simple. Simple things do not always raise people’s attention. There are lots of nuts and bolts in the background, but that is why we started Blue Sky Carbon Solution – to make it simple and affordable for individuals and organizations to have an impact on their carbon footprint and climate change now.
