Although there are six primary categories of greenhouse gases, carbon offsets are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO2e). One carbon offset represents the reduction of one metric ton of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases.

http://www.natural-capital.com Natural Capital is a Montana company specializing in market based approaches to environmental conservation. Our staff has experience with emissions offset project development, voluntary emissions offset brokering, Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions management, and environmental consulting. We are aggregating members of the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) and are also active APX registry members thereby eligible to develop and register carbon projects through the Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS). Natural Capital offers consulting services for businesses and individuals interested in assessing their environmental impact. We can identify ways to improve energy efficiency, minimize waste, and decrease total greenhouse gas emissions. Sometimes economic realities prevent totally eliminating sources of greenhouse gas pollution. In these cases we offer the option to be "carbon neutral" by offsetting your emissions with certified carbon credits. Natural Capital, LLC develops or invests in projects that either reduce carbon dioxide emissions directly or remove carbon dioxide from the air. In essence you can invest, through Natural Capital, in projects that offset your annual greenhouse gas emissions.
