In the fight against climate change, carbon credits play an important role as a sustainability incentive. Here are 10 projects with potential carbon credits.
- Mangrove Restoration and Greening
Trees absorb CO2, making reforestation projects valuable for carbon sequestration.
- Seagrass Conservation
Coastal ecosystems are natural carbon sinks, and they lock in CO2 efficiently.
- Agricultural Waste into Carbon Storage
Converting plant residues into biochar prevents emissions from decomposition.
- Renewable Energy Plants
Solar and wind power replace fossil fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- Direct Air Capture (DAC)
The machine extracts CO2 from the atmosphere and stores it underground permanently.
- Regenerative Agriculture
Agriculture without tillage and cover crops increases soil carbon storage.
- Efficient Cooking Stove
Replacing wood-burning stoves reduces deforestation and emissions.
- Forest Protection (REDD+)
Preventing deforestation keeping CO? locked in a tree. (However, some REDD+ credits have faced scrutiny.)
- Methane Capture
Landfills, agriculture, and mines release methane—capturing it prevents emissions 28x more potent than CO2.
- EV Infrastructure & Electric Vehicles
Supporting EV adoption reduces reliance on fossil fuels, reducing transportation emissions.
Each of these projects contributes to a low-carbon future while providing financial incentives through carbon credits.
