Description

Description

The Value Portfolio is CNaught’s narrowest portfolio, designed to include affordable, high-quality avoided emission carbon credits that drive impact. 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. In order to maximize affordability, the Value Portfolio does not include any projects that remove existing carbon from the atmosphere–despite carbon removal being a critical technology in need of investment.

Portfolio Composition

The Value Portfolio provides cost-effective carbon offsetting through high-quality avoidance credits. This portfolio focuses on proven technology-based and nature-based reduction projects that deliver verified emissions reductions at an accessible price point.

Projects in This Portfolio

Nature-based Reductions 3 projects 35%

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 65%

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.
