About
CO2cut is the service that connects global electronic commerce with global electronic climate exchanges. E-commerce (affiliate marketing) and e-climate exchanges exist world-wide. We provide our individual users and organizational members a FREE and easy way to reduce their CO2 emissions every time they purchase goods and services from online vendors. When members use links to any number of shopping and travel sites, and choose carbon offset projects in which to invest, earned fees from those online vendor sites automatically purchase a variety of carbon reduction projects on electronic climate exchanges. In essence, their purchases help offset all or a part of their personal CO2 emissions AT NO EXTRA COST. Projects into which our members choose to invest are aggregated in the most reliable credits available on the global climate markets.
If a CO2cut user from the EU intends to reduce his carbon emissions on the European mandatory carbon market, he may choose to invest in renewable energy development (biomass, wind, mini-hydro) through CER (Certified Emission Reduction) credits issued by the United Nations Clean Development Mechanism Executive Board. CERs are traded on the ECX, European Climate Exchange's electronic trading platform.
If a CO2cut user intends to reduce his carbon emissions on the US carbon voluntary market, he may choose between projects in renewable energy, forestry and landfill management. All the Projects are based on CRT (Climate Reserve Tonnes) credits. If he wants to invest in renewable energy, he may choose to invest in RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates) and both CRT credits and REC's are traded on the CCFE (Chicago Climate Futures Exchange).
