Carbon Offset Projects

Carbon sequestration science is showing that not only reducing carbon emissions but also capturing existing carbon will be critical in keeping a healthy climate in the world. DEI works with private land owners to protect their forests and keep them healthy for the purpose of sequestering carbon and selling the credits. Over the last five years we have worked to protect 385,000 acres of land and our clients have been awarded over 15 million carbon credits.
