How would CarbonCounted help with some of the concerns in the carbon offset market?

1) We are encouraging offset providers to use CarbonCounted as a neutral platform to calculate and third-party verify the business and personal carbon emissions to be offset.  We have some providers signed up.   We believe this brings legitimacy to the offset provider.

2) Offset projects can be third-party verified within the our system.

2) When offsets are available in our system, we are able to keep track of those who use them as Sources.  The offset provider inputs the total amount of carbon from a project available.  Then, we have the ability to track when an offset has been consumed by businesses using them to offset their verified emissions.

3) As a third party, not-for-profit platform that does not do consulting or sell offsets, CarbonCounted does not have any conflicts of interest with the offset market.

Please contact us if you are interested in how CarbonCounted can address concerns in the carbon offset market.
