Carbon credit

Carbon credit

The carbon credit system offers an incentive for companies to reduce their emissions. It involves setting an emission cap, which is periodically decreased. If a company exceeds this limit, it incurs a fine. In addition, unused certificates can be sold to other companies, creating a market-oriented mechanism for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, the total number of available credits is decreased gradually over time to help reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.
