Companies We Recommended with Certain Reservations 3. Companies We Currently Cannot Recommended Conclusions As illustrated in this site, there are a number of ways in which carbon offset companies can be compared, reflecting the diversity in approaches to addressing issues of climate change. TCI has chosen the following criteria as most important in evaluating an offset company: Calculator: The air travel emissions calculator should be accurate, include a multiplier for radiative forcing and account for flight variables. Project Type: Project portfolios should have little or no bio-sequestration projects; rather they should be mainly or entirely renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. Project Location: The advantages and disadvantages of projects in developing nations depend very much on how projects are designed and implemented. Because there are also major concerns with projects implemented domestically, we do not recommend one over the other. Project/Offset Quality: Projects should ideally be additional, permanent, account for leakage and contribute to the long-term goal of a carbon free, highly energy efficient economy. They should be planned and implemented with excellent standards and verification. Additional benefits such as capacity building or protected biodiversity are a plus. High standard and verification requirements such as the Gold Standard and the Voluntary Gold Standard help maximize the benefits of projects implemented in non-Annex 1 countries. Transparency: The company should clearly state all their procedures, verification schemes, financial arrangements and partnerships. Back to the top We chose to divide the evaluated companies into three groups: 1. Recommended 2. Recommended with Reservation 3. Not Recommended Within each category, the companies are listed alphabetically. Click here for Table 8: Summary & Ratings Of All 13 Companies 1.
