Colorado’s Project C: Carbon Offset Credits to Fund Community-Based Clean Energy
Businesses, organizations, and individuals in Colorado can offset their greenhouse gas emissions and support local clean energy with carbon offset credits from Project C.
“Global warming is our generation’s greatest environmental challenge. The scientific evidence that human activities are the principal cause of a warming planet is clear, and we will see the effects here in Colorado. But the seeds of change are also here in Colorado, in our scientific and business communities, and in each of us individually.” - Governor Bill Ritter, Jr.
Project C is the nickname for the Colorado Carbon Fund, a program developed by Colorado’s Governor’s Energy Office to develop funding for clean energy projects and provide credible carbon offset credits for individuals and businesses.
The Colorado Carbon Fund will only support new, verifiable, greenhouse gas reduction projects that are developed in Colorado. The GEO is partnering with The Climate Trust, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, to manage this program.
