A diversified, science‑aligned portfolio
We partner with CNaught to purchase a diversified portfolio of high-quality carbon credits that is designed to maximize impact, mitigate risk, and foster innovation. A portfolio approach to carbon credits is recommended by the World Economic Forum, and the CNaught portfolio embodies the science-based best practices laid out in Oxford’s Principles for Carbon Offsetting.

Technology-based Reductions
2 projects · 1,177 tonnes
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.

Liling Landfill Gas Project
This project collects landfill gas to generate 3.2MW of electricity at a landfill in Hunan Province, China, avoiding the emission of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and using the methane to generate power and displace dirtier coal-fired power in the electric grid.
