That's not an "offset" - that's just a system that doesn't emit CO2. Offsets are when you decline to reduce CO2 emissions, instead paying someone else to <mumble>.
Offsets were always a scam. As I recall, they were sold to us with the promise that carbon "prices" were introductory, and were supposed to go up quickly and dramatically. At any rate, the whole idea of a "market" in carbon emissions is silly, because the price of the underlying asset is set by governments.

- denton-scratch 5y agoYou capture and sequester your own CO2 emissions. If you can't do that, you have an unsustainable business.
