Greenhouse Gases Numerous gases play a role in causing global warming, each having its own distinct chemical properties. In order to achieve a fair and accurate comparison, the GHG (Green House Gases) protocol outlines the utilisation of tCO2e (metric tons of CO2 equivalent) as the standard measure for carbon accounting.
Carbon Dioxide
Methane
Nitrous Oxide Others

Carbon Credits 01
ESGenie
What is it
A carbon credit is a unit of measurement that represents the reduction or removal of one metric ton of carbon dioxide (tCO2e) or its equivalent in other greenhouse gas emissions.
02 Tradable It's a way to measure and trade the permission to release a certain amount of these gases. People or groups that reduce more emissions than usual can earn these points, which they can sell to others who need to balance out their emissions.
03 How it helps This system encourages eco-friendly actions and projects that help reduce overall pollution.
