Impact Lite

Name: Impact Lite
SKU: 2706
Availability: InStock

Category: Carbon Removal, CNaught Portfolios

From $0.03 (min. 1 kg)

The Impact Lite portfolio is built on the foundation of the Impact Portfolio, while excluding tech-based removals that may not be delivered until the future. It maintains the same diversified approach while still being accessible to those who are more budget conscious.

Description

Description

The Impact Lite Portfolio is narrower in scope than the Impact portfolio but still contains a diversified portfolio of high-quality carbon credits to drive impact and mitigate risk. A portfolio approach to credits is recommended by the World Economic Forum, and CNaught’s approach embodies the science-based best practices laid out in Oxford’s Principles for Carbon Offsetting. The Impact Lite Portfolio does not support innovation in long-lived carbon removal technologies, which will be a critical part of reaching global climate goals.

Portfolio Composition

The Impact Lite Portfolio offers a balanced approach to carbon offsetting with a focus on nature-based and technology-based reductions and removals. This portfolio provides high-quality carbon credits at a lower cost point while still maintaining rigorous quality standards and diversification across project types.

Projects in This Portfolio

Nature-based Reductions 3 projects 30%

This category typically consists of nature-based projects that help retain an existing source of natural carbon storage that would otherwise be at risk — for example, rainforests that would be cut down for development or peat bogs that might be drained for agriculture.

Katingan Mentaya Conservation

One of the highest-regarded avoided deforestation projects in the world, this project protects and restores 149,800 hectares of peatland ecosystems in Indonesia that would likely otherwise have been converted to palm and other plantations.

Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

Manoa REDD+

One of the highest-regarded avoided deforestation projects in the world, this project protects and restores 18,1500 hectares of the Amazon from illegal deforestation.

Brazil

Bottomland Forests of the Louisiana Plains

This is an improved forest management project that works with local landowners in Louisiana and Mississippi to protect their forests.

Louisiana, United States

Technology-based Reductions 6 projects 60%

This category covers a wide range of projects that aim to reduce and avoid emissions versus business as usual. Examples include: natural gas leak repairs, destruction of refrigerants that would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere, and capture of methane emitted from landfills.

Oeste de Caucaia Landfill

This project collects landfill gas at a municipal landfill near the city of Fortaleza in Brazil. It avoids the emission of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and displaces natural gas in…

Caucaia, Ceará, Brazil

Titas Gas Leak Repair

This project reduces natural gas leaks from a gas distribution network in Bangladesh through the use of an advanced leak detection and repair program that would not be feasible without carbon credit revenue.

Greater Dhaka, Bangladesh

Liling Landfill Gas Project

This project collects landfill gas to generate 3.2MW of electricity at a landfill in Hunan Province, China, avoiding the emission of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and using the methane to…

Liling, Hunan Province, China

Istanbul Landfill Gas to Electricity

This project collects landfill gas to generate more than 42MW of electricity at two landfills near Istanbul, Turkey, avoiding the emission of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and using the methane…

Istanbul, Turkey

Gaziantep Landfill Gas

This project collects landfill gas to generate 5.655MW of electricity at a landfill serving Gaziantep City, Turkey, avoiding the emission of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and using the methane to…

Gaziantep City, Turkey

Fuzhou Hongmiaoling Landfill Gas to Electricity

This project collects landfill gas to generate 2.5MW of electricity at a landfill in southeastern China, avoiding the emission of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and using the methane to generate…

Fujian Province, China

Nature-based Removals 8 projects 10%

This category typically consists of nature-based projects that remove existing carbon and store it in new plants, trees, or soil — for example, planting trees in an area that has previously been clear cut or restoring plant life to tidal wetlands.
