Carbon Compliance

Citola provides client access to a long-term fixed price provision of carbon offsets eligible to meet compliance objectives or corporate responsibility requirements through forestry carbon offsets.

Citola manages the entire carbon offset origination, management and delivery process and works with clients to understand their specific requirements, timelines and governance objectives in-order to provide carbon products with an appropriate fee/investment structure.

Citola carbon forestry projects are independently verified and designed to satisfy the additionality test under the Kyoto protocol ensuring eligibility for international carbon standards such as the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS).

About the Compliance Carbon Market

The compliance market has been created under the Kyoto Protocol whereby governments undertake legally binding obligations to place regulatory caps on the total amount of greenhouse gases they can emit as a country. This legislation is enforced by putting specific pollution caps on large emitting industries and organisations who must meet certain guidelines by changing their business practices (retrofitting factories, making supply chains more efficient, etc) and/or buying carbon permits.
