𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀 In the journey toward net-zero emissions, carbon offsets play a pivotal role in balancing the scales. Here's a quick dive into the two primary types of carbon offsets: 𝟭. 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 - 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗹: 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Afforestation projects that absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere, creating carbon sinks. 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) that captures CO₂ directly from industrial processes or the air and stores it underground, effectively removing it from the atmosphere. 𝟮. 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 - 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Renewable energy projects (like solar, wind) replace fossil fuel-based power, preventing emissions. Methane capture initiatives in landfills or agriculture prevent potent greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere. Balancing emissions with innovative projects is key to driving a sustainable future.
