Technology-based Reductions
This category covers a wide range of projects that aim to reduce and avoid emissions versus business as usual. Examples include: natural gas leak repairs, destruction of refrigerants that would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere, and capture of methane emitted from landfills.

This project reduces natural gas leaks from a gas distribution network in Bangladesh through the use of an advanced leak detection and repair program that would not be feasible without carbon credit revenue.

This project collects landfill gas to generate more than 42MW of electricity at two landfills near Istanbul, Turkey, avoiding the emission of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and using the methane to generate power and displace dirtier power in the electric grid.
Nature-based Reductions
This category typically consists of nature-based projects that help retain an existing source of natural carbon storage that would otherwise be at risk — for example, rainforests that would be cut down for development or peat bogs that might be drained for agriculture.

One of the highest-regarded avoided deforestation projects in the world, this project protects and restores 149,800 hectares of peatland ecosystems in Indonesia that would likely otherwise have been converted to palm and other plantations.
Nature-based Removals
This category typically consists of nature-based projects that remove existing carbon and store it in new plants, trees, or soil — for example, planting trees in an area that has previously been clear cut or restoring plant life to tidal wetlands.

An Improved Forest Management project that combines regeneration practices, reforestation efforts, and silvicultural treatments to enhance forest sustainability and ecosystem integrity, all monitored under FSC guidelines.
Technology-based Removals
This is a highly diverse category of projects that includes cutting-edge engineered solutions that hold significant promise but are not yet available at scale. Examples include direct air capture technology and storage of carbon through enhanced rock weathering.

This biochar project converts invasive species into durable carbon removals.
