Overview for Carbon Buyers
Offset emissions with Klima: retire carbon credits at a guaranteed price, get blockchain-verifiable certificates via Carbonmark, and link beneficiary details.
Are you looking to offset your emissions using carbon credits for yourself, your enterprise, or your customers and clients? This handbook includes everything you need to know about compensating for ones emissions by purchasing carbon credits (”carbon offsets”) from Klima.
Note that Klima Protocol does not resell credits to buyers. Rather, the protocol facilitates retirement of the credit. Carbon ‘retirement’ refers to the process of consuming the environmental benefit of a carbon credit and is an irrevocable process.
Klima offers the following functionality for buyers:
Retire a batch of carbon credits instantly, at a guaranteed price.
Get a proof-of-retirement certificate that is publicly verifiable and blockchain-secured via Carbonmark.com.
Connect the certificate records to yourself or your enterprise by publishing public beneficiary details (name, reason for credit consumption, etc.).
Choose from a diverse selection of credits, vintages, and methodologies.
For some credit types (currently EcoRegistry & Puro.Earth), you can receive a certificate from the originating registry in addition to a certificate published by Carbonmark.com.
There are a few limitations to be aware of:
Klima does not sell raw credits directly. Rather, it only sells the credits to fulfill immediate retirement. Carbon credit retirement provides a proof that the credit was permanently consumed. This certificate can never be transferred or resold.
Retirements are permanent and irreversible once successful, so refunds are not possible.
Not all token retirements include a certificate from an external registry. Some credits are native to the blockchain (CMARK credits) and others were permanently transferred out of the registry (Toucan VCS credits).
