Production Summary: Help Build™ Carbon Projects

Currently, our portfolio of Help Build™ carbon projects is performing at 110% of our initial forecast.

This chart compares the estimated generation of carbon reductions (i.e. carbon offsets) from each of our Help Build™ projects to their actual production through December 2010.

How We Calculate

We calculate each project’s production according to the methods established by internationally recognized carbon standards, including the Verified Carbon Standard and Climate Action Reserve. 

There are distinct approaches for each project type. Within project types, such as agricultural methane, the calculations are highly specific and nuanced to reflect variances in the way the material is managed and handled. The difference between the rigor required of a certified forestry project and a simple tree-planting program, for example, is like the difference between the sun and the moon.

All NativeEnergy carbon projects that you can help build are validated and all carbon offsets are verified by an expert independent third party.
