To prevent the most serious impacts of climate change, countries that are members of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) have agreed to reduce the global average temperature rise, which has been ongoing since pre-industrial times, to below 2°C. To achieve this goal, global greenhouse gas emissions must peak as soon as possible and decline rapidly thereafter. Global emissions must be reduced by 50% by 2050, compared to 1990 levels, before transitioning to carbon-neutrality at the end of this century. The EU supports the UNFCCC's objective and aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95% by 2050, relative to 1990 levels. These high reduction levels also take into account the low reductions needed from developing countries.

Carbon credits are emission reduction units used to report each tonne of CO2 equivalent greenhouse gas reduction made by an activity that reduces greenhouse gas emissions. These credits are called Verified Emission Reduction (VER). The definition of greenhouse gas emission reduction represented by these credits, also known as carbon offset certificates, is made with reference to an activity with an equivalent capacity of greenhouse gas emissions.

Carbon credits (certificates) are earned by projects that reduce different types of greenhouse gases (such as CO2, CH4, N2O) in the following categories:

  • Agriculture
  • Chemical process / Industrial Production
  • Energy efficiency / Fuel replacement
  • Forestry and land use
  • Renewable energy
  • Transportation
  • Waste disposal

Greenhouse gas emission reduction projects, prepared within the scope of various internationally accepted standards such as CDM (Clean Development Mechanism), VCS (Verified Carbon Standard), GS (Gold Standard), GCC (Global Carbon Council), can take place in the carbon market after being approved by accredited institutions. While carbon credit plays an important role in the fight against the global climate crisis, it also becomes a source of income for the project owners. As Zala Global team, we provide services to develop emission reduction projects and create carbon credits with our expert and experienced staff.
