The calculation of the quantity of C02 avoided or sequestered is done using a recognized methodology
Verifiability

Permanence
Avoidance or carbon sequestration must be maintained over time (7 years minimum in principle)
Uniqueness
Carbon credits must be entered in a register in a unique way to avoid any double accounting
What are the advantages of carbon credit certification?

Carbon credits help establish a balance between companies/countries that emit greenhouse gases and those that do not emit as much. A company (company, country, administration, etc.) emitting less than its quota can sell the quantity that remains to be emitted. Conversely, a company exceeding its quota must purchase additional emissions. By exceeding its quota, the company has two choices: The first, buy additional emissions, the second, pay a quota excess tax. Hence the importance today of the carbon credit market. The goal of carbon credit certification is to create a verified asset that can be marketed and then traded to investors on markets global carbon footprint, for the benefit of project owners.
