Understanding the Types of Carbon Credits

Carbon credits come in three types: Reduction, Protection, and Removal. Reduction credits cut emissions at the source, like energy efficiency, but may shift emissions, limiting global impact. Protection credits preserve carbon sinks—forests and oceans—preventing new emissions, offsetting 200 million tons of CO2e in 2024, per Verra. Removal credits actively extract CO2 via direct air capture or reforestation, absorbing 150 million tons in 2024, per Global Forest Watch, offering high impact. Each type supports climate goals differently, helping stakeholders choose credits that balance immediate reductions with long-term atmospheric CO2 removal.
