Carbon credits can be created in a variety of methods. Green Carbon Credits are something we deal with at Mahargh Agribuilder. Mahargh's primary activity is agroforestry, which includes afforestation and replanting.

So carbon credits certificate is like a document that is issued either to company for avoiding carbon dioxide emission or to farmer for absorbing some amount of CO2 back from the atmosphere. One credit is awarded for a one-tonne reduction in CO2.

What exactly is carbon credit then?
Automobiles & Manufacturing industries are the main emitters of CO2. Then comes the animals including human beings. Even 10-15% of Agricultural practices also contribute to emission of CO2 in the air.
Its only Sea & Plants/Trees which have capability to sequester (remove) CO2 from polluted air.
As a result of this Climate Change ( Excess CO2 in air ), sea level is rising constantly. Already exerting many adverse effects on well being of human kind.
We don't want sea level to rise in order to remove excess CO2. Plenty of jungles are cut. Which further added to this rising level.
Reforestation & Afforestation are the only help we are left with. That is when the role of social forestry comes into the play.
We want farmers to grow trees. Which brings in lot of benefits apart from preventing climate change.
The trees which Mahargh Grows, function to remove CO2. and this practice now can pay the farmers.
Manufacturing industries need to compensate for all excessive CO2 they throw into air above permitted values.
By planting trees and thus by removing CO2 from air, the farmers can receive monetary compensation.
This happens only when the farm of farmer with tree plantation in it is registered before hand. This brings farm under continuous monitoring.
Along with monitoring, evaluation ( validation & verification ) of farm by third party certifies the farm. ( makes it eligible to obtain carbon credit certificate).
Once the farm thus the farmer receives the certificate ( one carbon credit certificate for 1 Ton CO2 sequestration from air ), he can sell the Carbon credits directly or through any agency.
Once sold, the Carbon Credit is dead. One time generation, one trade and thats the end of certificate. It loses value.
Mahargh Agribuilder, under phase 1 of its project, intends to cover 4000 Acres of land under his management for Carbon credit and for increasing farmers income in every possible way.
