Credible Carbon

Credible Carbon is a registry that sells credits from projects that are independently audited against carbon market standards that have been approved by the UNFCCC. Avoiding carbon-emitting activities is your key (and first) responsibility; but when emissions are unavoidable, buying an offset from an emission reduction project can make reducing greenhouse gas emissions affordable. We think that the answers to the FOUR BIG QUESTIONS provide buyers with the type and quality of information that they require about Credible Carbon’s offsets. The result is a set of projects that comply with our aim and vision for this market: Real projects, real people, real benefits (we don’t trade business plans!), and emission reduction plus poverty alleviation. Credible Carbon is a registry that was designed to support projects (not itself!) and constantly seeks to reduce the transaction costs for small, poverty alleviating projects that also reduce greenhouse gas emissions using internationally recognised methodologies recognised such as those used by the Clean Development Mechanism, Gold Standard and Verra. All our projects are in Sub-Saharan Africa, independently audited, reduce emissions, and alleviate poverty. Credible Carbon is a South African registry promoting transparent and accountable access to the global carbon market for poverty-alleviating projects in Africa.
