Our Carbon Offset Projects

Carbonfund.org supports three types of carbon offset projects; each type plays an important role in the fight against climate change. The projects Carbonfund.org supports are third-party certified to meet the same high standards that thousands of companies, organizations, and governments rely on to ensure quality environmental protection.

Project Types

  • Renewable Energy & Methane Projects
    Renewable energy offsets support projects that help to reduce the amount of energy we need to produce from fossil fuel sources like coal and oil.
  • Energy Efficiency & Carbon Credits
    The cleanest unit of energy is the unit you never use. Energy efficiency is the cheapest and fastest way to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and save money.
  • Reforestation & Avoided Deforestation
    Forest-based projects actually reduce the amount of carbon that’s in the atmosphere. These projects sequester carbon dioxide emissions from the atmosphere and have many co-benefits for the community and local wildlife.

Project Standards

Our projects are third-party certified to the highest international standards, and our project portfolio is audited annually and available online. Read more in project standards.

Your Carbon, Your Choice™

We know some people prefer renewable energy, while others prefer trees or efficiency. So we figured it’s your carbon, your choice. When you donate, you have the option of selecting your preferred carbon offset type.
