Waste & methane carbon offsets
Waste & methane credits capture and destroy methane from landfills and organic waste — a greenhouse gas roughly 80× more potent than CO₂ in the near term — before it reaches the atmosphere.

Waste & methane, answered.
Methane traps about 80× more heat than CO₂ over 20 years, so capturing and destroying it before release avoids a large amount of near-term warming per tonne.
