CARBON CREDITS

CARBON OFFSET + CREDIT

MARKETPLACE

Dairy farmers, you can win with carbon credits by adopting practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions like optimizing manure management or integrating biochar. These practices generate carbon credits, representing a ton of carbon dioxide emissions reduced or removed. You can then sell these credits creating an additional revenue stream or hold on to them to avoid a carbon tax.

QUANTIFY EMISSIONS

Calculate the amount of greenhouse gases you've reduced through your sustainable practices.

This involves establishing a baseline of your emissions before the changes and measuring the emissions after implementing your carbon-friendly practices.

THIRD PARTY VERIFICATION

Cow Shades will work with a recognized carbon standard organization to verify your emission reductions.

These bodies will ensure your reductions are real, measurable, and permanent, which is crucial for the integrity of the carbon credits

Once verified, your carbon credits need to be registered with a carbon registry.

This step officially recognizes your credits and prepares them for trading.
