Insetting vs Offsetting : All you Need to Know

What is the difference between insetting and offsetting, and does it impact a company’s supply chain or how well they reduce emissions?

Carbon insetting is when an organization invests in sustainable practices within its own supply chain. Carbon insets support the implementation of practices that sequester carbon, promote climate resilience, protect biodiversity, and restore ecosystems. For agriculture, carbon insetting means prioritizing regenerative agriculture which helps to reduce carbon emissions and build resilience across organizations' supply chains.

What is Carbon Insetting?

Summer time! Travel time! Time for a trip! A nice long vacation! You deserve it!

Unfortunately, your big fun trip comes with a big ol’ carbon impact — even bigger than we previously thought, according to a new study. UGH, I know. I guess that means you’re in the market for a carbon offset, which ostensibly neutralizes that impact.

But what does a carbon offset actually do? Sometimes it grows a tree. Sometimes it lights a fire over a garbage dump. Life is full of mysteries, and we investigate all the ones pertinent to carbon offsets.

Carbon emissions are increasingly damaging our climate and our environment. They are created every day in many areas of our lives. For that reason, it is more important than ever to reduce and avoid your own CO₂ emissions. Nonetheless, some emissions remain unavoidable to date, yet they can be offset. This video explains how carbon offsetting works!

All You Need to Know About Carbon Capture

How does carbon capture prevent climate change? All you need to know about carbon capture and how it works and if companies should invest in a carbon capture system.

In this article we’ll explore what carbon offsetting and removal actually means, how it benefits the environment, and how you can utilise these methods to reduce your carbon footprint.

Today, mankind’s collective activity deposits about 50 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. All of this carbon dioxide traps heat from the sun and warms the entire planet, creating new conditions that are changing life as we know it.

So scientists are suggesting Co2 extraction methods in an effort to become carbon neutral - a cycle in which we clean up as much carbon dioxide as we emit.

For the engineers who work on carbon removal at a large scale, the dream is to devise a closed-loop system in which the carbon released could be treated as a commodity or resource, rather than a waste product. 

Now, a Canada-based company called Carbon Engineering is turning this dream into a reality, using cutting-edge carbon capture technology called "direct air capture" to clean the air.

What is Bioenergy With Carbon Capture And Storage (BECCS)?

How does bioenergy add on to the existing benefits of a carbon capture and storage system?

Shell’s Quest carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Alberta, Canada, is designed to capture and safely store more than one million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) each year – equal to the emissions from about 250,000 cars.  CCS is one of the only technologies that can significantly reduce carbon emissions from industrial sectors of the economy, and the Quest project is a blueprint for future CCS projects globally.   See how the project will capture one-third of the emissions from Shell’s Scotford Upgrader, which turns oil sands bitumen into synthetic crude that can be refined into fuel and other products.

How it works:  Carbon Capture and Storage

BECCS, or Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage, is a technology that the IPCC has factored into their climate modelling. If it is to have the effect of keeping their models to well below 2 degrees Celsius of warming compared to pre-industrial levels then it will need to be implemented on a vast scale around the globe.
This week we take a snapshot of scientific and journalistic analysis of this controversial proposal.

Reforestation: Our Guide to Sustainable Companies

What is reforestation? How does reforestation impact the environment? Here’s our guide to sustainable companies that keep reforestation in mind.

Reforestation is exactly what it sounds like: replacing forests that have been cut down or restocking forests that have been degraded through human activities like logging or natural means like forest fires. 

Experts say we have a lot of need for reforestation. Researchers estimate that the world lost as much as 411 million hectares of tree cover, or more than 1 billion acres, between 2000 and 2020, an area larger than India. Much of it fell to make room for agriculture, and deforestation is continuing at an alarming pace.

What is carbon dioxide removal and how does it work? Here are 6 ways carbon dioxide can be captured from the atmosphere.

6 Examples of Carbon Dioxide Removal

In order to reach global net-zero emissions by 2050, we must remove CO2 from the atmosphere as well as prevent further emissions. Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) can be accomplished naturally -- through forests, soil sequestration, or mineralization -- and technologically. In fact, we will need both natural and technological CDR methods to get to net-zero. So what methods exist that remove carbon from the atmosphere? What are their respective costs, how do they compare, and which are already on the market?  [5/2022] [Show ID: 38045]
