Carbon Credits
Achieving full Net-Zero.
Exploring Carbon Credits
You've made significant strides in reducing your carbon emissions, but you're not at net-zero yet. Tariff.com can help you close that gap with the right offset project, bringing your business closer to achieving full net-zero status.
As more companies work to lower their carbon footprint, simply showcasing ‘green credentials’ is becoming less impactful to stakeholders. However, businesses that can truly achieve full net-zero stand out as leaders in their industries.
Offset your remaining emissions with Tariff.com and move toward a greener, cleaner, and more sustainable future.
What Are Carbon Credits And Carbon Offsets?
Despite their best efforts, many businesses find it difficult to operate without relying on fossil fuels for at least part of their activities. As long as this continues, reaching the goal of net-zero emissions remains unattainable.
Carbon credits and offsets provide a way for companies to compensate for their greenhouse gas emissions by investing in projects that remove an equivalent amount of carbon from the atmosphere.
How Do Carbon Credits Work?
A carbon credit represents the removal or prevention of one tonne of CO2 from entering the atmosphere. This can be achieved in two main ways:
- CO2 Removal: This involves investing in projects that physically remove carbon from the atmosphere, such as large-scale tree planting. As trees grow, they absorb CO2 from the air and store it as solid carbon in their trunks and roots.
- CO2 Avoidance: In this case, a business modifies its land use or energy generation practices to prevent the production of CO2. An example would be the restoration of peatlands, which, if left to degrade, emit significant amounts of greenhouse gases.

Carbon Credits Frequently Asked Questions
If your business has already taken meaningful steps to reduce its carbon emissions, such as switching to a green energy supplier or installing a carbon management system, but still produces some emissions, carbon credits allow you to offset this remainder.
In effect, it is the final piece of the jigsaw to achieving net-zero status.
Upon your purchase, you’ll receive a certificate detailing how many tonnes of greenhouse gases your investment has either compensated for or removed from the atmosphere.
Carbon credits are generated from business projects around the world that pull greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. Each project should reduce one metric tonne of greenhouse gas to gain one carbon credit.
Although the terms ‘carbon offset’ and ‘carbon credit’ are often used interchangeably they are slightly different.
- A carbon offset is a mechanism that allows organisations to nullify unavoidable carbon emissions and is achieved by activity that prevents, reduces, or removes the release of these emissions into the atmosphere. Offsetting is used by organisations to achieve net zero status where they cannot reduce their emissions further without disrupting operations.
- A carbon credit is a tradable permit or certificate that’s issued for every tonne of CO2 a verified project manages to absorb, avoid, or otherwise reduce. It essentially confers the holder of the credit the right to emit one tonne of CO2 or other greenhouse gas equivalent without damaging the environment.
So that our customers can purchase their carbon credits with confidence, Tariff.com ensure all our green partners are fully vetted and 100% genuine. You can be sure that your credits are verifiable and will deliver the benefits to the environment and planet as promised.
It is estimated that around 200 billion trees will need to be planted across the world to offset all carbon dioxide.
