Where Your Money Goes
Tonnes offset on this page will be evenly allocated to all COTAP projects. You will receive a detailed offset acknowledgement like this one. Your tonnes will be included in our public carbon credit retirements on the Markit Environmental Registry like this. You can track COTAP’s progress and download projects’ annual reports, which contain detailed accounting of payments to communities, in our Transparency section.
What’s At Stake
There are many worthy carbon offset providers out there, but COTAP’s focus is to create at least $8.10 per tonne in community income. We do this through our transparent pricing of $15.00 per tonne, our modest margin of 10%, the fact that we only transact directly with projects, and because we require that projects share at least 60% of carbon revenues with participating communities. For a glimpse of the far-reaching and multi-faceted benefits such income can create, we encourage you to watch the mini-documentary about our visit to the Khasi Hills Community REDD+ Project in Meghalaya, India.
