Climate Credits and Projects
Interested in project onboarding, purchasing credits, or exploring offtake agreements?
The climate crisis is a race against time. Now, businesses, governments, and other buyers of carbon credits can target high-integrity projects and credits that verifiably draw down atmospheric heat over the critical next two decades, before we trigger irreversible climate tipping points. Maximize the impact of every climate dollar you invest with Heat Reduction Credits from GHR.
An innovative approach to cooling the planet
-
Heat Reduction Investments
Heat Reduction Credits account for all drivers of warming, including super pollutants left out of conventional carbon accounting, like black carbon and low-level ozone. -
Timeframes that matter
Our credits are issued in tCO₂e units and include verified heat reduction impact data over any timeframe (GWP10, 20, 100…). -
Quantified co-benefits and trade-offs
Rather than relying on project self-reporting, we offer high quality data* to support Sustainable Development Goals.*Projects can opt-in for a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to receive quantified co-benefits and trade-offs that are mapped to UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Your Competitive Advantage
Our climate credits, offtake agreements and “beyond value chain” investments offer unique benefits.
-
For purchasers:
- Make verified claims to both CO₂e and atmospheric heat reduction in a single credit
- Achieve maximum impact for every climate mitigation dollar invested
-
For project proponents:
- Command premium pricing for addressing the immediate crisis
- Differentiate your projects and credits in a crowded, confusing marketplace
State-of-the-art digital registry tied to major global exchanges, powered by EcoRegistry
