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

8 projects · 2,076 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.
Oeste de Caucaia Landfill
Technology-based Reductions

Caucaia, Ceará, Brazil

Oeste de Caucaia Landfill

This project collects landfill gas at a municipal landfill near the city of Fortaleza in Brazil. It avoids the emission of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and displaces natural gas in the distribution grid.

Titas Gas Leak Repair
Technology-based Reductions

Greater Dhaka, Bangladesh

Titas Gas Leak Repair

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.

CarbonCure 1
Technology-based Reductions

Georgia, U.S.

CarbonCure 1

This project captures waste CO2 and injects it into concrete during manufacturing, permanently mineralizing the CO2 while simultaneously reducing Portland cement usage. The dual approach both removes CO2 from the atmosphere through permanent sequestration and reduces emissions from cement production.

CarbonCure 2
Technology-based Reductions

U.S. and Canada

CarbonCure 2

This project uses waste CO2 as part of the concrete manufacturing process and thereby both stores that CO2 permanently in concrete and further reduces carbon emissions by using less Portland cement as a concrete ingredient.

A-Gas South Korea 1
Technology-based Reductions

Bowling Green, Ohio USA

A-Gas South Korea 1

This project destroys CFCs obtained from sources across South Korea and transported to Bowling Green, Ohio for destruction, starting November 2022. The project has high additionality because ODS destruction is not required within Korea and is not financially attractive without carbon revenue.

Heartland Methane Abatement
Technology-based Reductions

Washington County, Oklahoma

Heartland Methane Abatement

The Heartland Methane Abatement project plugged six orphaned oil wells in Oklahoma that were emitting methane and lacked any viable financial or regulatory path to be capped without carbon credit revenue.

Trinity Landfill Gas
Technology-based Reductions

United States

Trinity Landfill Gas

The Trinity Landfill Gas Project captures landfill gas that would, under normal circumstances, be emitted to the atmosphere.

Fuzhou Hongmiaoling Landfill Gas to Electricity
Technology-based Reductions

Fujian Province, China

Fuzhou Hongmiaoling Landfill Gas to Electricity

This project collects landfill gas to generate 2.5MW of electricity at a landfill in southeastern 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.
