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 plugs four abandoned orphaned oil wells located in Caddo Parish, Louisiana, to stop the emission of methane and other noxious gases.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

This project supports farmers in Karnataka, India in transitioning away from chemical fertilizers to sustainable, organic farming practices that sequester carbon and improve rural livelihoods.
