Carbon offsets help fund projects that either reduce or avoid greenhouse gas emissions, or remove carbon from the atmosphere. Offsets are often used as part of a broader climate strategy alongside measuring emissions, reducing your footprint, and reporting progress.
Support projects that prevent emissions from happening.
Support projects that pull carbon out of the atmosphere.
Offsets work best alongside internal emissions reduction efforts.
Help fund meaningful climate projects beyond your own operations.
Aclymate no longer offers a marketplace of individual offset projects. Instead, through our partnership with Cnaught, we now offer a simpler and more strategic way to buy offsets: four curated portfolios. This approach helps businesses choose more confidently by giving them diversified, science-backed options aligned to different goals and budgets.
No need to sort through dozens of individual projects.
Spread impact across different project types.
Choose a strategy grounded in a portfolio approach rather than one-off project selection.

Cnaught's portfolios are made up of different types of carbon credit categories. Understanding these categories helps explain the differences between the four portfolio options.
Projects that reduce emissions through engineered systems or industrial improvements.
Projects that avoid emissions through ecosystem protection and land-use solutions.
Projects that remove carbon from the atmosphere using forests, soils, or other biological systems.
Engineered solutions that directly remove carbon from the atmosphere.
Avoid relying on a single project or project type.
Support a broader climate strategy across multiple credit categories.
Choose one portfolio instead of researching many projects.
Select a strategy based on removal focus, affordability, or balanced impact.
Give your team and stakeholders a clearer story behind your choices.
A portfolio approach can make your offset strategy easier to explain to customers, partners, employees, and other stakeholders. Instead of pointing to one isolated project, you can show a more intentional strategy aligned to your goals and budget.
A more structured approach than one-off project selection.
Easier to explain in customer and stakeholder conversations.
Better fit for sustainability narratives and disclosure workflows.
Choose an option you can stand behind.
Renewable Energy Certificates, or RECs, can complement your broader climate strategy by supporting renewable electricity generation. They are often used alongside carbon accounting, renewable electricity claims, and broader sustainability reporting. Aclymate can help you understand how RECs fit into your overall sustainability strategy.
Help fund renewable power generation.
RECs and offsets serve different roles in climate strategy.
Useful in broader sustainability and energy reporting.
Offsets and RECs are only one part of climate action. Aclymate helps businesses build a broader sustainability strategy across measurement, management, reporting, improvement, and proof.
Understand your footprint.
Track initiatives and sustainability work.
Communicate progress more clearly.
Reduce emissions and optimize performance.
Support climate claims through certifications, offsets, and RECs.
Offsets support projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gases. RECs support renewable electricity generation.
It depends on your budget, climate goals, and how strongly you want to emphasize removals versus affordability.
Impact is the strongest all-around option for businesses seeking a balanced, diversified portfolio.
Value is the most affordable portfolio option.
Impact Removal is designed for companies that want the strongest commitment to removal projects.
