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
9 projects · 8,946 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.

Samutprakarn, Thailand
Tradewater Thailand 6
This project destroys CFC-12, a potent greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting substance that was illegally smuggled into Thailand and seized by customs officials but otherwise had no end-of-life solution.

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.

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.

West Virginia, USA
Genoa Elementary Well Methane Project
This project permanently plugged ten economically viable marginal oil and gas wells near Genoa Elementary School in Wayne County, West Virginia, to eliminate methane and toxic hydrogen sulfide emissions that posed health and safety risks to nearby students, families, and the surrounding community.

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.

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.

Istanbul, Turkey
Istanbul Landfill Gas to Electricity
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.

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.
