sINTRODUCTION What are Carbon Credits? A carbon credit (often called a carbon offset) is a financial instrument that represents a tonne of CO2 (carbon dioxide) or CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent gases) removed or reduced from the atmosphere from an emission reduction project‚ which can be used‚ by governments‚ industry or private individuals to offset damaging carbon emissions that they are generating. How are Carbon Credits used? Carbon credits are associated with either removing existing CO2 or

Carbon Dioxide is a colorless‚ odorless gas that occurs in small quantities in the earth’s atmosphere naturally. The earth’s ocean‚ soil‚ plants and animals release CO2. The formula of Carbon Dioxide is CO2. The CO2 molecule contains 2 oxygen atoms that each share 2 electrons with a carbon atom to form 2 carbon - oxygen double bonds. The atoms are arranged as so (OHT). This is called a ’linear molecule’. Carbon dioxide is commonly found as a gas and is never a liquid. It sublimes to

other pollutants increasing the chances for climate change thru human induced activities. Human activities promote the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases cloud the atmosphere leading to a warming of the earth’s atmosphere. Climate change occurs as a result of atmospheric changes promoted by human activities. As industrialized nations energy demands increase‚ the discharge of greenhouse gases like Carbon Dioxide (CO2)‚ Methane (CH4)‚ and Nitrous Oxide (N2O) increases

Human Impact on the Environment Every living thing has an impact on its environment. Therefore a human impact on the environment is inevitable. By simply existing‚ all species - including ourselves - will imprint their mark on the world around them. What differentiates us from other species is our ability to greatly overburden our environment with very few limits. The information regarding our human impact is vast and impossible to cover in one article but I will attempt to cover a basic overview

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Carbon Credits are gaining momentum not only around the world but also in India. The Concept of Carbon Credits evolved as a step to mitigate the rising Global Warming on earth. The emission of greenhouse gases by industries and anthropogenic activities has caused irreparable damage to the atmosphere leading to rising global temperature‚ affecting human life and causing Global Warming. The Concept of Carbon Credits was therefore evolved by way of an agreement by different countries
