A growing number of organizations, cities and countries are talking about becoming carbon neutral And many such plans are likely to have one thing in common – the presence of a carbon offsetting.
Offsetting and the race to Net Zero
In the bid to be carbon neutral,offsetting plays a valuable role.The more you can do to reduce your carbon footprint the better, obviously. But there will almost certainly be a point where you’ve done all you can but are still leaving a mark.
Net Zero
That’s the point at which you buy into an offsetting scheme to neutralize the effects of your remaining Co2 emissions. A few years ago, that probably would have meant planting trees or investing in a reforestation project. However given the difficulties and lack of transparency of this, you can buy carbon credits from CTX to establish an ongoing programme of carbon offsetting, so that for every action you simply buy credits to cancel out your emissions and fund carbon mitigation projects around the world.
But why
carbon offset?
The main human sources of GHG emissions are: fossil fuel use, deforestation, intensive livestock farming, use of synthetic fertilizers and industrial processes.

Reaching
Net Zero
To reach Net Zero we must aim for a world where the amount of GHGs we produce, is less than or equal to the amount we extract from our environment.Our overarching goal is to facilitate reaching Net Zero and by reducing the human-made emissions caused globally each year. In aiming for this, we must reduce emissions within our daily activities at every level, from individual to the world’s biggest companies, to safeguard our planet for future generations. That’s why at CTX, we lead the market for transparent, fair carbon trading, provided verifiable solutions as your last resort.
In doing so, you can be assured you have made the best efforts possible to reducing your carbon footprint and can be confident in demonstrating your actions publicly, without fear of greenwashing. To deliver the future we want, this is essential, which is why we offer our support at every stage of the carbon trading process – doing things right and doing the right thing.
