karbonkreditkibocsátást

Karbonkreditkibocsátás refers to the process of issuing carbon credits. A carbon credit, also known as a carbon offset, is a permit that represents the right to emit one tonne of carbon dioxide or the equivalent amount of a different greenhouse gas. These credits are generated from projects that reduce, avoid, or remove greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere. Examples of such projects include reforestation, renewable energy installations, and methane capture systems.

The issuance of carbon credits is typically managed by various registries and standards bodies, such as the Verra registry (Verified Carbon Standard - VCS) or the Gold Standard. These entities establish methodologies for quantifying emission reductions, ensuring the additionality of the projects (meaning the reductions would not have occurred without the incentive of carbon credits), and verifying the actual emission reductions achieved.

Companies or entities that reduce their emissions below a certain cap, or invest in emission-reducing projects, can generate carbon credits. These credits can then be sold to other entities that need to offset their own emissions, often to meet regulatory requirements or voluntary sustainability goals. The market for carbon credits, both compliance and voluntary, plays a role in incentivizing climate action by putting a price on carbon emissions. The integrity of carbonkreditkibocsátás is crucial for the effectiveness of carbon markets in contributing to climate change mitigation.
