How the Global Portfolio works

You choose your tonnes

Buy any quantity at £6.50 per tonne ex VAT, as a one-off purchase or a monthly subscription. Download your certificate as soon as your payment is complete.

We allocate one project

Shortly before retirement, we select a single project from the portfolio for your order. Its name, project number and your credit serial numbers then appear in your order details on COMP.

Retired on the registry

Your credits are retired on the project's public registry, normally within about two weeks of your order. Need them retired straight away? Contact us and we'll arrange it.

The portfolio changes over time. If stock of a listed project runs out, we add new projects, so your credits may come from a similar project that meets the same standards and quality checks, rather than one shown below.

Prefer to choose the project yourself? Browse all projects on COMP. You can choose an individual project for purchases of 10 tonnes or more from that project.

Projects in the Global Portfolio

Portfolio as of October 2026. Projects change as stock is used and new projects are added.

Wind power project thumbnail

Ras Ghareb Wind Energy Project

Wind power · Egypt · Gold Standard GS11557 · CRISP 4.0/5

A 262.5 MW wind farm of 125 turbines on Egypt's Gulf of Suez, supplying the national grid and displacing fossil-fuelled generation. Turbines are shut down during bird migration seasons to protect endangered species, and the project funds university scholarships for local students: 23 were awarded between August 2022 and March 2024.

Verified by TÜV NORD CERT (2024) and Re Carbon (December 2024).

Landfill gas project thumbnail

Dongyuan Xiantang Landfill Gas Power Project

Methane capture · China · VCS 3308 · CRISP 4.8/5

Captures methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from a municipal landfill in Heyuan, Guangdong, and burns it to generate electricity for the China Southern Power Grid. Capturing the gas also reduces odour and explosion risk for nearby residents, and the project has created local jobs.

Verified by Applus+ Certification (June 2023).

Every project is rated by CRISP

CRISP is our own rating system. We score every project we sell from 1 to 5 against five criteria, and we publish the scores, including where a project scores lower.

CriterionRas Ghareb WindDongyuan Landfill Gas
Additionality44
Permanence55
Measurement & verification55
Leakage55
ICVCM CCP status15
Overall CRISP score4.04.8

The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) has not approved grid-connected renewable energy methodologies for its Core Carbon Principles label, which is why Ras Ghareb scores 1 on that criterion. We include it because it scores 5 for permanence, measurement and leakage, and its investment analysis shows it depended on carbon finance.

What you receive and what you can say

As soon as your payment is complete, you can download a certificate confirming your purchase of carbon credits from the Global Portfolio. Once your credits are retired, log in to COMP and open your order to see the full retirement details: the project name, project number and the serial numbers of your credits.

You can describe your purchase as funding or contributing to verified climate projects. On its own, buying credits does not support claims that your business or products are “offset”, “carbon neutral” or “climate positive”. The CMA Green Claims Code and the EU Empowering Consumers Directive require more than that. If you need a recognised claim, the Carbon Footprint Net Zero Standard sets out the full pathway.

Global Portfolio FAQs

Can I choose which project my credits come from?

Yes, for purchases of 10 tonnes or more from a single project. Use Browse All Projects on COMP to choose one. For Global Portfolio orders, we allocate a project for you.

When do I get my certificate?

As soon as your payment is complete. Your certificate confirms your purchase of carbon credits from the Global Portfolio. The specific project is selected shortly before your credits are retired, and its details are then added to your order in COMP.

When are my credits retired?

Normally within about two weeks of your order. If you need them retired straight away, contact us at info@carbonfootprint.com and we will arrange it. Once they are retired, log in to COMP and open your order to see the project name, project number and the serial numbers of your credits.

Why might my project differ from those listed here?

The portfolio changes over time. If stock of a listed project runs out, we add new projects, so your credits may come from a similar project that meets the same standards and quality checks.

Is the Global Portfolio all renewable energy?

No. It currently includes wind power and landfill methane capture. Every project is certified to Gold Standard or the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and rated by CRISP.

How much does it cost?

£6.50 per tonne ex VAT, in any quantity, as a one-off purchase or a monthly subscription.

Your pathway to Net Zero

Sourcing renewable energy carbon credits is a vital tactical step, but true leadership requires a strategic blueprint. Align your carbon credit activity with the Carbon Footprint Net Zero Standard.
