The carbon offset providers primarily work to reduce future emissions by investing in clean energy technologies, planting trees, or buying and compensating for the carbon emitted from emissions trading schemes. Offset providers widely vary in terms of their areas of focus and charges, and their operations are determined by their respective locations.

With the boom in renewable energy, many of the credits that trade hands merely represent a transfer of money from one profitable enterprise to another, critics say.

Organizations working to reduce emissions are increasingly turning to carbon offsets to shrink their carbon footprint. A key challenge in carbon offsetting is how to price the credits. CME Group launched the Global Emissions Offset (GEO) futures contract in 2021 with the aim of making it a global benchmark, giving customers a way to manage risk, and helping in price discovery. CME Group followed the GEO contract with the launch of Nature-based GEO futures (N-GEO) in 2021 and Core GEO futures (C-GEO) in 2022.

Agriculture producers across the state are reaching out to Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service for advice on carbon credit contracts.
