Technology-based Reductions
Our approach
The Impact Portfolio is a diversified portfolio of high-quality carbon credits designed to maximize impact, mitigate risk, and foster innovation. A portfolio approach to credits is recommended by the World Economic Forum, and the CNaught portfolio embodies the science-based best practices laid out in Oxford’s Principles for Carbon Offsetting. The Impact Portfolio includes the full range of carbon credit types CNaught offers so that you can maximize your ability to support a low-carbon future.
Technology-based Reductions
Gaziantep Landfill Gas
This project collects landfill gas to generate 5.655MW of electricity at a landfill serving Gaziantep City, Turkey, avoiding the emission of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere and using the methane to generate power and displace dirtier fossil-fuel-driven power in the electric grid.

Frontier Carbon Removal Portfolio
Frontier is an advance market commitment to buy $1B+ of permanent carbon removal between 2022 and 2030. It aims to accelerate the development of carbon removal technologies by guaranteeing future demand for them. The goal is to send a strong demand signal to researchers, entrepreneurs, and investors that there is a growing market for these technologies.
