Why Native Energy?

Carbon offsets are an essential part of any business’s emissions mitigation strategy. Unfortunately, some carbon offset vendors are not fully transparent about the financing and impact of their offsets, which makes it difficult to verify how much carbon is diverted by their projects.

A core property of all Native Energy offset projects is additionality, meaning Native Energy selects projects that would not have been executed without their funding. This ensures that all Native Energy offsets represent actual carbon savings, rather than the substitution of funding sources for a project that would have been built in any case.

In order to meet their additionality standards, all Native Energy projects must be:


 

         


 

         


 

         


 

         


 

         


 

         

In addition to slowing climate change, many Native Energy projects are designed to serve the needs of people in lower-income communities and countries, as well as those particularly vulnerable to climate change.

All Native Energy offset products are verified by leading third-party auditors: Gold Standard, Verified Carbon Standard, and Climate Action Reserve.
 

Examples of past Native Energy projects include:


 

         


 

         


 

         


 

         

Of course, in order for companies to offset their GHG emissions, they first need to understand their footprint. Visit our platform page to learn how Green Project streamlines ESG accounting for companies of all sizes
