Improve Carbon Offset With Leasly

Carbon Offsets Explained

Carbon offsets let you help build projects in communities across the country that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions beyond what you can achieve through individual action. Carbon offsets are purchased to fund these projects and diminish the impact of your own GHG emissions, even though the projects are located elsewhere. Carbon Offsets make environmental and economic sense- for emissions that are impossible to reduce, you can use funds to help reduce emissions elsewhere.

Farm Power

Farm Power

Terrapass works with farms in communities across the United States to make the best possible use of animal waste. Through the use of anaerobic digesters, methane is captured as the manure breaks down and is then destroyed when it is burned as a fuel to produce electricity.

Land Fill Gas Capture

Land Fill Gas Capture

Landfill gas capture projects turn garbage into power. As organic waste breaks down, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas 84 times more powerful than CO2. According to the EPA, landfills are the third-largest source of methane emissions in the United States.


Clean Energy From Wind Power

Clean Energy From Wind Power

Wind energy displaces electricity that is generated by dirty fossil fuels like gas and coal (the way that most power is currently generated in the United States). In this sense, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions that are avoided depends upon the “carbon profile” of the electricity grid.

Forests can sequester carbon dioxide (C02) in a variety of ways. Carbon is stored in the trunks, leaves, branches, and roots of trees. Carbon is also stored in the forest soil, understory plants, and green “litter” on the forest floor.


How are carbon offsets generated?

Emission reduction projects reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere in one of three ways:

By capturing and destroying a greenhouse gas that would otherwise be emitted into the atmosphere. An example of this is a methane gas capture project at a landfill.

By producing energy using a clean, renewable resource that eliminates the need to produce that same energy from fossil fuels, the burning of which releases greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. An example of this is wind power.

By capturing and storing (or “sequestering”) greenhouse gases to prevent their release into the atmosphere. An example of this is a project that promotes the healthy growth and maintenance of forests.

Some projects include more than one of these activities at the same time. For example, gas capture projects at landfills not only prevent the release of methane gas into the atmosphere, but they also use the captured methane to generate electricity that would otherwise be generated by burning fossil fuels such as coal or natural gas.Leasly provides a full range of services to transform your business beyond brick and mortar to a thriving and profitable virtual dealership.
