The basics
What is a carbon credit?
A carbon credit is a tradable unit representing the certified reduction or removal of one tonne of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) from the atmosphere, achieved through a certified environmental project such as reforestation, forest conservation or renewable energy generation.
1 carbon credit = 1 tCO₂e
Each credit can be purchased and subsequently retired to offset the residual emissions of a company or organisation.
The right journey
Measure, Reduce, Offset
Reduce emissions with effective strategies
Reduce direct and indirect emissions as far as possible through concrete action: energy efficiency, renewable energy, supply chain optimisation.
Offset unavoidable residual emissions
Offset the residual emissions you cannot yet eliminate by purchasing carbon credits certified to recognised international standards.
Project types
How many types of project are there?
The projects offered by Green Future Project Group fall into two broad categories:
Carbon Removal projects
They extract CO₂ equivalent already present in the atmosphere.
Nature-based
Afforestation / reforestation
Planting new trees or restoring degraded forests to absorb CO₂e from the atmosphere and increase forest cover.
Blue carbon
Conservation and restoration of coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrass meadows and salt marshes, which sequester large amounts of CO₂ equivalent.
Carbon farming
Sustainable farming practices that increase carbon sequestration in soil, vegetation and biomass, reducing net emissions.
Improved forest management
Sustainable forest management practices that reduce emissions compared with conventional use scenarios.
Tech-based
Biochar
Charcoal produced from biomass which, incorporated into agricultural soil, sequesters carbon stably and durably over the long term.
Carbon Avoidance projects
They prevent future emissions of CO₂ equivalent.
Nature-based
REDD+
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation: protects existing forests, avoiding the emissions their destruction would cause.
Community-based
Efficient cookstoves
Replacing traditional stoves with low energy consumption models, reducing emissions and improving air quality in local communities.
Access to clean water
Supplying safe drinking water, removing the need to boil water with fossil fuels and reducing the emissions of local communities.
Tech-based
Renewable energy
Installing solar, wind or hydroelectric plants in developing countries to replace fossil energy sources, reducing CO₂ equivalent emissions.

What requirements a carbon credit must meet
A high-quality carbon credit meets seven fundamental criteria, verified by independent standards and verification bodies:
Additionality
The project would not have gone ahead without the revenue from credits. The impact is genuinely additional to the baseline scenario.
Reality
Credits are issued only after verification by an independent third party.
No harm
No negative impact on the environment, local communities or biodiversity. The project causes no collateral damage.
Leakage prevention
Emissions reduced in one area do not cause increases elsewhere. The project boundary is clearly defined.
Third-party monitoring
Periodic checks by accredited independent bodies (VVB) guarantee the robustness of the project.
Traceability
Every credit has a unique identifier in the standard's public registry.
Permanence
Storage is guaranteed over the long term with dedicated risk buffers. Active protection against unforeseen events.
Green Future Project Group selects only credits that meet all 7 criteria, to guarantee real, verifiable and lasting impact.

Standards
International standards and certifications
Carbon credits are certified by independent standards that require a process of registration, validation and verification by independent third parties.
ICR
International Carbon Registry
Gold Standard
Gold Standard for the Global Goals
Verra (VCS)
Verified Carbon StandardEvery credit has a unique identifier in the public registry of its reference standard. Once retired, it can no longer be transferred, resold or reused, eliminating the risk of double counting.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before buying carbon credits.
In the compliance market, governments impose emission limits on companies through systems such as the ETS or a Carbon Tax, and trading takes place in a closed, regulated market. In the voluntary market, companies and organisations buy credits on a voluntary basis, in an open market, to offset emissions not subject to direct regulatory obligations.
A developer starts a project that reduces or removes emissions; the project is registered with an independent standard and undergoes validation and verification by a third party. Only once the impact is confirmed does the standard issue the credits, which the developer sells to companies and public or private organisations.
A good starting point is to share your company's Carbon Footprint, or the volume of credits you wish to buy (in tCO₂e). If you already have preferences, it also helps to indicate the type you are looking for (removal or avoidance). Our experts will guide you through the selection based on criteria such as geographical area, certification standard, co-benefits, budget and ESG goals.
Once the purchase is complete you receive a retirement certificate carrying the unique identifier of the credits in the public registry of the reference standard — verifiable proof of the offset.
The price varies considerably depending on category (removal vs avoidance), vintage (year of generation), quality rating, certification standard and country of origin. Contact us to receive a tailored proposal.
The number of credits required corresponds to the tonnes of CO₂ equivalent to be offset, calculated through the Carbon Footprint according to standards such as the GHG Protocol. Best practice is for offsetting to cover residual emissions, within a broader decarbonisation strategy.
Yes. We support companies in building diversified portfolios aligned with their ESG strategy, combining different project types, geographical areas and levels of price and quality.
For example, a portfolio can combine emission reductions and carbon removals, or nature-based and community-based projects, spreading the investment across different methodologies and territories. Diversification can help build a strategy more consistent with the organisation's goals and spread exposure across different types of solution.
Carbon credits are a tool for channelling financial resources towards climate projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions, helping to mobilise capital towards mitigation measures that might otherwise not be carried out.
For companies, they make it possible to finance climate action outside their own value chain, supporting, for example, ecosystem conservation and restoration projects, reforestation or other climate solutions. The credit system also allows climate results to be quantified, verified and tracked, making them easier to account for and helping to prevent the same result being counted more than once.
Supporting low-quality projects can expose a company to environmental integrity, reputational and regulatory risks. If the reductions or removals claimed are not genuinely additional, are overestimated, or carry non-permanence or double counting issues, the credits generated may not represent the climate impact claimed.
This can undermine the effectiveness of the company's climate strategy, weaken the credibility of its climate claims and expose it to greenwashing risks, stakeholder challenges and growing regulatory scrutiny. That is why certification must be paired with due diligence on the quality of the project and of the credits it generates.
