An overview of the projects we support

Yes. While compliance markets mainly apply to large emitters, SMEs can take part in voluntary markets to offset unavoidable emissions.

Prices depend on the project type, location, verification standard, and demand in the market.

In 2025, top carbon credit providers include Regreener, South Pole, ClimatePartner, Anthesis, and Rabo Carbon Bank. These companies stand out for their verified impact, transparency, and project quality across both carbon removal and carbon reduction initiatives.

They can, but only if used responsibly. High-quality, verified carbon credits support real, measurable climate projects. But they’re most effective when paired with serious internal reduction efforts, not used as a substitute for them.

Nearly. The terms are often used interchangeably. Carbon credits refer to the tradable units, while offsets describe the action of compensating emissions using those credits.

Look for certifications from trusted standards like Verra, Gold Standard, or American Carbon Registry. High-quality credits are measurable, permanent, additional (wouldn’t happen without funding), and independently verified.

• Compliance markets are regulated by governments (e.g., EU ETS) and apply to industries with binding emissions caps.

• Voluntary markets let companies and individuals offset emissions on their own terms, typically for ESG goals or supply chain impact.

All of our projects are carefully selected, based on four-step Quality Framework.

• A track record in removing or reducing CO2 emissions;

• A positive impact on biodiversity;

• Social impact: creating jobs for local communities;

• Data transparency: our projects have a real, measurable and verifiable impact.

Each project is vetted against 100+ data points, including assessments by independent rating agencies like BeZero and Renoster. This ensures we only offer the top 5% of climate projects globally—delivering measurable climate impact and meaningful social co-benefits.

Yes, especially if your company is aiming for climate targets, ESG transparency, or sustainable procurement compliance. Carbon credits can help address unavoidable emissions and support impact-driven projects, even if your budget isn’t huge.
Bonus: they also make your sustainability claims more credible.

Nature-based projects—like reforestation, forest conservation, or mangrove restoration—are often more expensive than technology-based carbon offset projects because they involve complex, long-term ecological and social processes. These projects require large areas of land, continuous monitoring, and collaboration with local communities to ensure the protection and regeneration of ecosystems.

Additionally, nature projects often deliver extra benefits beyond carbon removal, such as biodiversity protection, water conservation, and improved livelihoods for local populations. These co-benefits add value but also increase the cost of project development, certification, and ongoing maintenance.

Unlike traditional providers, Regreener assesses over 100 data points for every single project. This rigorous analysis allows us to handpick only the top 10% of impact projects worldwide.

Whether your focus is on regional impact, social benefits, or price we curate a custom portfolio of 3–5 high-impact projects from our elite pool—aligned with your priorities.

The Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) allows companies, organizations, and individuals to voluntarily purchase carbon credits to offset their emissions and meet sustainability goals. It’s not regulated by law but driven by climate commitments, corporate social responsibility, or consumer demand. Projects in the VCM are usually certified by independent standards like Verra (VCS) or Gold Standard.

The compliance market, on the other hand, is regulated by governments or international bodies. It includes mechanisms like the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) or California’s Cap-and-Trade Program, where companies are legally required to measure, reduce, or offset their emissions as part of national or international climate policies.

In short:

• VCM = voluntary, flexible, reputation-driven

• Compliance market = mandatory, regulated, law-driven

A carbon credit is a tradable certificate that represents the removal or reduction of one metric ton of carbon dioxide (CO₂) or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Companies, governments, and individuals can buy carbon credits to offset their own emissions, supporting projects like reforestation, renewable energy, or methane capture.

While we do focus on high-quality, thoroughly vetted projects, we also offer more budget-friendly options. Price is an important factor—but it’s not the only one. We believe in balancing impact, quality, and affordability, so you can support projects that aligns with both your values and your budget.
