Discover a credible, customizable path toward carbon neutrality

Carbon offsets can help reduce emissions and transition your business to sustainable energy practices. When you purchase carbon offsets, you’re contributing to reputable projects that compensate for or reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support renewable energy generation. This can position your business as a leader in environmental stewardship and heighten brand awareness with your customers. We offer carbon offsets in the U.S. and Canada, and they’re the simplest way to advance toward a lower carbon future.

How it works

Carbon offsets are investments in projects that compensate for carbon dioxide emissions to combat climate change. They’re generated by activities such as planting trees or capturing methane and help the purchaser meet their emission reduction goals.

We work with a range of well-recognized carbon registries to ensure we deliver high quality offsets. You can control your spend by procuring carbon offsets for a portion or all of your load.

This could be a great fit if…
  • You have short term sustainability goals.
  • You want a low commitment and cost-effective solution.
  • You’re looking for an efficient path to decarbonization.

NRG carbon offsets are certified by the Verified Carbon Standard Program (VCS) and Climate Action Reserve and meet the environmental standards outlined in each program.
