Sterling Planet offers this Sterling Climate carbon offset product, effective January 1, 2018. Businesses, organizations and individuals use these greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions to reduce their environmental footprint. Sterling Climate is derived from Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and/or Climate Action Reserve (CAR) verified landfill methane collection and combustion emission reductions originating from U.S. based landfill gas utilization projects. One example is the Greater New Bedford Landfill Gas Utilization project located in Dartmouth, MA. The VCS and CAR are robust global benchmarks that guarantee project integrity and environmental value.
These carbon offsets directly compensate for the GHG emissions caused by personal transportation and energy use. Buyers can be confident that these high-quality offsets are real, additional, and permanent:
Real – representing actual emission reductions that have occurred
Additional – going beyond “business as usual”
Permanent – backed by guarantees and fully retired once sold to prevent double counting
The percentages listed are prospective. Actual figures may vary. For more information on how much they can vary, see the Price, Terms & Conditions.

The emissions reductions supplied were created on or after January 1, 2013. VCS develops and manages standards and frameworks to vet environmental and sustainable development efforts, build their capacity and connect them to funding. By ensuring that their standards are robust, practical and transparent, VCS can accurately quantify benefits and drive investment in responsible, high-performing projects and programs.
The Climate Action Reserve’s GHG emissions reduction project protocols provide regulatory-quality guidelines for project development and the quantification of carbon offset credits, known as Climate Reserve Tonnes (CRT). These protocols are widely regarded as among the highest quality standards for carbon reduction projects.
