Buying Your Carbon Credits

Do you have certified or fully audited carbon credits for sale?

Carbon Planet is interested in diversifying our carbon credit stocks with credits created within Australia and internationally. If you have an existing project and are selling certified and/or fully audited carbon credits or carbon deeds, please send an email to origination(at)carbonplanet.com with details of the carbon credits you are offering.

Carbon credits can be created from projects that either sequester carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases or save greenhouse gases from being emitted using new technologies.

The best place to start your research for new projects is by contacting the body within your country that certifies carbon credits. They will be able to tell you what processes you need to undertake to create carbon credits from your project.

Your Government's Environmental Department may be able to tell you who this is, alternatively use your internet search engine and search under your country name and 'carbon credits' eg. If your project is in India search under 'carbon credits India'.

Other resources for your research may be available on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. See especially 'The Kyoto Protocol' and 'The Marrakesh Accords.'

Carbon Planet's Carbon Credit Procurement Policy

  • Real emission reductions

    Carbon Planet only purchases carbon credits from specific projects that truly reduce emissions.

  • Certification

    Carbon Planet only retails carbon credits that have been certified by a credible third party against an objective standard (with certification that involves monitoring and verification over time.)

  • Transfer of Legal Ownership

    Carbon Planet will always transfer legal ownership of the carbon credits to the purchaser ensuring that carbon credits are not sold again to multiple buyers.

  • Additionality

    Additionality means emission reductions must be additional to those that would otherwise occur without the project, so additionality is demonstrated when there is a positive difference between the emissions that occur in the baseline scenario, and the emissions associated with a project.

  • Permanence

    The certification must provide legal guarantees that the sequestration or carbon saving cannot be reversed in the future.

  • Proper carbon accounting

    The carbon accounting associated with the carbon credits must take into account potential uncertainties (benefit quantification) and ensure that the amount of carbon saved/sequestered is at least equal to the amount of carbon credits sold.

  • Ancillary environmental benefits

    Carbon Planet prefers to purchase carbon credits that offer ancillary environmental benefits.
