Inquiry

The project has a contract in place for carbon offsets as related to credit EAc4 On-site and Off-site Renewable Energy. The project team would like to show these carbon offsets are the equivalent as being verified by Green-e Climate. The Climate Action Reserve has verified the carbon offsets. These offsets are high quality and the Climate Action Reserve is usually referred to as the best offset protocol. Since CAR has been endorsed by Green-e, is retirementment of the offsets in the name of the project sufficient to demonstrate equivalency?
