A carbon credit is a permit that allows the holder to emit a certain quantity of greenhouse gases, typically one credit representing one metric ton of CO2 or its equivalent. Both direct actions (e.g., burning natural gas for heating) and indirect actions (e.g., taking flights, purchasing specific products) contribute to overall emissions. Carbon credits are generally issued to companies, which can buy and sell them in a market aimed at incentivising reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
