We know that the majority of carbon offset programs
aren't doing anything to reverse climate change.
That's why we focus on the 3% that are making an impact
in the form of pure carbon dioxide removal.
In 2022, only 3% of projects resulted in pure carbon removal.

Charm Industrial is a group of smart, integrity-rich Bay Area engineers, on a mission to get atmospheric carbon concentrations down to 280 ppm (pre industrial levels). If you’ve ever looked at the stars and said “what if I could just put the oil back in the ground?” Well, now you can. They create injectable bio oil from waste products and store it safely underground.

UNDO
UNDO is a leading carbon dioxide removal project developer specializing in enhanced weathering. Part of Stripe’s 2021 Climate Portfolio, UNDO is scaling operations in the UK and US. The basalt rock they use, a by-product of the quarrying industry, is given to local regenerative farmers for free to spread using existing machinery, ensuring a 95% carbon efficiency. In addition to permanent, rapid and scalable carbon removals, UNDO’s holistic partnership model delivers significant co-benefits such as enhanced soil health, ocean de-acidification and increased profits for farming communities.

CarbonBuilt's Carbon XPRIZE-winning technology reduces concrete’s embodied carbon by 70% to over 100% — enabling immediate impact in thousands of existing plants without compromising price, performance, or operations. First, they remove carbon-intensive...
CarbonBuilt
CarbonBuilt's Carbon XPRIZE-winning technology reduces concrete’s embodied carbon by 70% to over 100% — enabling immediate impact in thousands of existing plants without compromising price, performance, or operations. First, they remove carbon-intensive cement from the mix and replace it with local industrial waste materials. Then they trap atmospheric CO2 inside the blocks while curing.

What are the best carbon offset programs?
Let's address the seven tonne elephant in the room: most carbon credits, which are used to counteract or "offset" carbon emissions, don't actually offset anything. Traditional carbon offsets such as renewable energy credits (RECs), energy efficiency offsets, and REDD+ offsets focus on avoiding new emissions rather than removing existing ones.
So how can the casual buyer know what the best carbon offset programs are? Here are some key criteria we look for when vetting new partners:
