how offsets work
With NativeEnergy, you can support or help build new renewable energy projects.
Renewable energy projects reduce global warming pollution on your behalf by reducing the amount of power generated by burning fossil fuels.
- Under federal law, renewable generators can force utilities to buy their power.
- For efficient grid operation, if the utility has to buy the project's power, it is going to use it.
- As a matter of physics, if the utility uses the renewable project's power, it must, for any given level of demand, use less from other sources.
- For efficient grid operation, they use less from those generators that have the highest fuel costs - fossil fuel plants.
The result is that for every kWh generated by a renewable generator, one kWh less is generated by fossil fuel plants.Learn more.
Some renewable energy sources, like our family farm methane projects, reduce global warming pollution by reducing the amount of fossil fuels the farms themselves use for heat and cooling, or by preventing emissions of methane gas from manure stored in lagoons.
By helping build new clean and renewable energy projects with NativeEnergy, you'll reduce CO2 pollution by helping change how our power is made.
Learn how we estimate how much CO2 pollution each project prevents.
