When you buy carbon credits through the Climate Neutral Pool, you support all of the projects listed below.
The Agrocortex avoided deforestation project aims to preserve and protect some of the most threatened forests on the planet and an important biodiversity corridor that connects the Andes to the Amazon. In addition to being a safe haven for over 400 bird species and 158 tree species, this project also generates positive social and economic impacts in one of the poorest areas of Brazil. One goal of the Agrocortex project is to regenerate populations of Mahogany trees throughout the project area.
The goal of the Dempsey Ridge Wind Project is to generate wind energy near Cheyenne, Oklahoma to reduce dependence on fossil fuel energy. Located across both Beckham and Roger Mills counties, the farm has 66 wind turbines that span 7,500 acres of agricultural land. The wind farm generates up to 132 megawatts of energy, which helps to power approximately 46,000 homes per year on renewable energy sources. This corresponds to a reduction of nearly 225,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year. Renewable energy generation is a reliable solution to climate change because it helps displace our reliance on energy from fossil fuels. This project expands renewable energy production to reduce dependence on traditional electricity sources, and stimulates local job creation.
