We want to help reduce our customers’ in-field GHG emissions in major agricultural markets by 30% by 2030. This applies to the most emitting cropping systems in regions Bayer operates. So, what does that mean for you?

A carbon credit buyer program refers to a system where individuals, organizations, or governments purchase carbon credits to offset their greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon credits represent a reduction or removal of greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere, typically achieved through projects that promote sustainable practices or support renewable energy initiatives.

Here’s how a typical carbon credit buyer program works:

  1. Emissions Calculation: Participants determine the amount of greenhouse gas emissions they produce through activities such as energy consumption, transportation, or manufacturing.
  2. Offset Requirement: Based on their emissions calculation, participants determine the number of carbon credits they need to purchase to offset their emissions.
  3. Carbon Credit Market: Participants can then buy carbon credits from various sources, such as accredited projects, organizations, or brokers. These carbon credits are typically generated from projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions, such as renewable energy projects, reforestation initiatives, or energy efficiency programs.
  4. Verification and Certification: Carbon credits are verified and certified by recognized standards and regulatory bodies to ensure their credibility and legitimacy. This verification process ensures that the projects generating the credits indeed result in genuine emissions reductions or removals.
  5. Offset and Reporting: Once the carbon credits are purchased, participants can use them to offset their emissions. They can report and communicate their reduced carbon footprint by subtracting the purchased carbon credits from their total emissions.
  6. Compliance and Voluntary Programs: Carbon credit buyer programs can be part of compliance mechanisms, where participants have legal obligations to reduce emissions. For example, companies may need to comply with emission reduction targets set by regulatory authorities. Additionally, there are voluntary programs where individuals or organizations voluntarily offset their emissions to demonstrate environmental responsibility.

By participating in a carbon credit buyer program, individuals, organizations, and governments contribute to environmental sustainability by investing in projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, ultimately helping to combat climate change.
