Certified Emission Reduction (CER)

Certified Emission Reduction (CER) Offset Credits

Carbon Footprint supports Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects that have generated CER credits.

These projects are fully verified to Kyoto / United Nations (UN) standards via an independent Designated Operating Entity.

Already know how much CO2 you want to offset?

CDM projects support sustainable development in developing countries through projects such as Wind Energy, Hydro Power and Biomass.

These credits can be used to meet part of the emission reduction targets set for industrialised countries under the Kyoto Protocol. Credits are purchased by countries with Kyoto targets and projects are undertaken in those without Kyoto targets.

Emission reductions therefore take place where the cost of the reduction is lowest thus lowering the overall costs of combating climate change.

These Kyoto compliant credits are accredited under the UK Government's Quality Assurance Scheme for Carbon Offsetting.
