Carbon Offset Buyers
Buy Our Carbon Offsets
We develop grasslands, IFM, and reforestation projects across the United States. Seeking to have global impact on carbon emissions and local impact on frontline communities, we are committed to selling only high-quality credits with proven additionality and co-benefits that support the land, ecosystems, and landowners.
The Climate Trust is a nonprofit developer that has been pioneering natural climate solutions in the carbon market for over 25 years.
The Climate Trust (TCT) maintains a robust voluntary and compliance carbon offset portfolio across all sectors and regions in the United States and Canada. We offer carbon offsets from both high quality projects we invest in, as well as those we develop ourselves directly with landowners. By partnering with The Climate Trust, we can support your climate action commitments by curating a portfolio that best matches your emissions reduction strategy and nature restoration goals.
Since the first-ever legislation mandating energy facilities offset emissions was passed in Oregon, we have been vetting and acquiring offsets and are a trusted voice on high-quality carbon project standards. We are independently audited, conduct robust risk evaluation for all of our projects, and have an experienced risk committee that provides additional oversight. Our team has evaluated and developed hundreds of emissions reduction and removal projects with all of the major registries including American Carbon Registry, Climate Action Reserve, Climate Forward, Verra, and California Air Resources Board.
