Carbon Offsets

Carbon Block™ was originally founded to provide incentives to the renewable energy sector. In the parts of the world where renewable energy (wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass) has not yet become cheaper than carbon based energy, (coal, and natural gas), funds from the carbon markets help make them economical.

Renewable energy based carbon offsets are the easiest carbon offset to understand: Instead of burning coal or natural gas to generate energy, the energy is generated from a renewable source and the difference in pollution between the two sources is the source of the carbon offset.
