Active Offsetting

revolutionizes the way carbon management is handled by allowing for real-time emissions monitoring. Unlike traditional methods that rely on delayed data and retrospective calculations, Active Offsetting provides immediate and continuous oversight of emissions as they happen. This capability gives organizations a clear, up-to-date view of their carbon footprint.

An active approach

Unlike traditional methods where emissions are calculated annually and carbon credits are retired retrospectively, Active Offsetting leverages direct sensor connections, IoT devices, and manual data gathering to procure real-time emissions data and direct retirement.

Active Offsetting focuses on precision offsetting, such as Scope 1 emissions—those directly produced by an organization’s operations, ensuring that immediate, accurate action is taken at the source of
emissions.

Active Offsetting empowers organizations to measure, monitor , and take immediate action to manage their environmental impact more effectively , without waiting for delayed reports or data.

Developed in 18 Afro-descendant communities in the Nariño Department, Colombia, this REDD+ project aims to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation across 371,749 hectares over 20 years, with a projected reduction of 9,416,407 tons of CO₂e. Activities include community empowerment, capacity building, and natural resource conservation, generating social, economic, cultural, and ecological benefits

Benefits and Key Aspects

Immediate Action

Facilitates immediate action to mitigate emissions and propels a new era of sustainable practices.

Efficiency
Optimizes the process of measuring and managing environmental impact by using real-time data, with a focus on Scope 1 emissions for precision offsetting.
Transparency
Ensures consistent climate contributions and promotes real-time environmental responsibility.
Direct Retirement

Carbon credits are retired through EcoRegistry using a transparent and traceable blockchain-based mechanism, guided by predefined attributes, and accompanied by an auditable retirement certificate. Including EcoRegistry in this process ensures that the retirement of credits is fully automated and verifiable.

Process

Active Offsetting follows a systematic and transparent process to ensure real-time management of carbon emissions. The process includes the following steps:

1. Data Collection

Daily collection of carbon footprint data using direct sensor connections, IoT devices or manual reporting. This includes assessing fuel consumption, load factors, and other relevant variables.

2. Data Transmission

Secure and immediate transmission of the collected data to a centralized platform for processing.

3. Data Processing

Analyzing the data to determine the exact carbon footprint and calculate the corresponding amount of carbon credits required for offsetting.

4. Carbon Credits Calculation

Calculation of the necessary carbon credits using the processed data. This step leverages blockchain technology to ensure accuracy and transparency.

5. Carbon Credits Retirement

Automatic retirement of the calculated carbon credits through the blockchain platform. This ensures that the carbon emissions are compensated in real-time.

6. Transparency and Traceability

Each transaction of carbon credits retirement is recorded on the blockchain ledger, providing an immutable, auditable and transparent history of the offsetting activities.

7. Reporting and Compliance

Regular generation of reports that detail the carbon footprint, the retired carbon credits, and the carbon projects from which the credits are sourced.

8. Concept of Repeat

Active Offsetting is a continuous process that monitors and offsets emissions in real time at regular intervals. This ensures ongoing carbon footprint management, keeping organizations aligned with sustainability goals without waiting for annual reviews or delayed reports.
