A carbon offset is a name given to a carbon credit when it is retired by an organization to make the claim that it is compensating for its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

A carbon credit is a tradable unit representing one metric ton of carbon dioxide (CO2), or an equivalent amount of another greenhouse gas (GHG), avoided or removed from Earth's atmosphere.

Carbon markets are places where carbon credits and allowances are bought, sold and exchanged. There are two general types of carbon markets, those that are mandatory to participate in, known as compliance or regulatory markets, and those that are entered into freely, known as voluntary carbon markets or VCMs. Compliance markets function on a cap-and-trade emissions trading system where units known as “allowances” are exchanged. Voluntary carbon markets function on a free, unregulated market where units known as carbon credits are exchanged. Sylvera’s work focuses mainly on VCMs.
