Carbon credit

Term · Semiconductors · MLC-T-SEM-000050

A transferable instrument representing one metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent that has been removed from the atmosphere or prevented from being emitted. These credits are traded in markets, allowing companies to offset their greenhouse gas emissions by purchasing credits generated by projects that reduce emissions elsewhere. The value of a carbon credit fluctuates based on market demand and regulatory frameworks.
