Fossil fuel emissions begin causing damage once they enter the atmosphere and remain there for hundreds or thousands of years. To credibly compensate for emissions, carbon removal should occur at the same time or before fossil fuel emissions enter the atmosphere and store carbon permanently.
Since most permanent carbon removal won’t be realized for another few years, on its own, it can’t negate emissions that occur in the interim. Thanks to the curated pairing of immediate and permanent carbon removals, you can use Net Zero Tonnes 1:1 to credibly compensate for present-day emissions, supporting neutrality and net zero goals and claims.
