What makes a good carbon credit project?

At a minimum, high-quality carbon credit projects will be audited by an accredited, third-party verifier and meet specific criteria dictated by internationally-recognized standards bodies. These criteria include additionality, detailed quantification of the greenhouse gas reduction or removal activity as compared to a baseline, and permanence. There are many different types of carbon projects that are eligible to generate carbon credits as long as they adhere to the requirements of methodologies that have been approved by the standards bodies. Furthermore, voluntary carbon projects can be found in many countries across the globe.
