Buy Carbon Offsets Without the 40% Broker Markup

Point A

Offset brokers charge 20-40% commission on credits. You overpay for carbon neutrality and have no idea if projects deliver real climate impact.

Point B

We charge 0% commission on offsets. Every project vetted for additionality, permanence, and sustainability co-benefits. You buy direct from registries at wholesale prices.

0% commission vs 20-40% industry average

Strict Project Vetting

Every offset project evaluated against 4 criteria: quantification (measurement rigor), additionality (wouldn't happen without carbon finance), permanence (long-term storage), sustainability (positive co-benefits).

4-criteria vetting process

Transparent Pricing History

See historical pricing for each project type (e.g., 'Savanna burning ACCUs averaged $18-22/tCO2e in Q1 2026'). Make informed decisions like buying stocks, not commodities in the dark.

Full price transparency

Portfolio Matching

AI recommends project types aligned with your values and stakeholder preferences. E.g., 'Your B Corp certification favors social co-benefits → recommended cookstove projects in Cambodia'.

Values-aligned recommendations

Retirement Verification

Automated retirement on Australian National Registry of Emissions Units or Verra registry. Certificate includes unique serial numbers proving credits aren't double-counted.

Registry retirement included

Forward Contracting

Lock in future pricing with 2-5 year forward contracts. Hedge against carbon credit price inflation (ACCUs up 180% since 2021).

Multi-year price hedging

How It Works

From emissions baseline to carbon neutral certification in 3 steps. Buy only what you need after reducing what you can.

1

Calculate Residual Emissions

Offset only emissions you can't eliminate through reduction initiatives. Dashboard shows your baseline, reduction progress, and residual emissions requiring offsets.

2

Select Offset Projects

Browse vetted projects filtered by type (avoidance, removal), geography, co-benefits (biodiversity, community development). See pricing, vintage year, and third-party certifications.

3

Purchase & Retire Credits

Buy exact quantity needed (fractional tonnes supported). We execute retirement on registry and issue certificate with serial numbers. Public carbon neutral claim supported by verifiable retirements.

Product Features That Do the Heavy Lifting

Our Offset Marketplace lets you compare 50+ vetted projects side-by-side with transparent pricing, project documentation, and third-party validation reports. Learn more →

Real-World Results

How companies in your industry use NetNada to solve specific problems.

Professional Services (Carbon Neutral Goal)

Challenge

Reduced emissions 35% but residual 850 tCO2e from business travel and cloud computing couldn't be eliminated in short term.

Solution

Purchased mix of Australian savanna burning ACCUs (domestic projects, 500 tCO2e) and verified cookstove VCUs (social co-benefits, 350 tCO2e). Total cost $16,500 vs $27,000 quoted by brokers.

Saved $10,500 with direct purchase

Events Company

Challenge

Client required carbon neutral event but had 2-week deadline. Traditional brokers quoted 4-week lead time.

Solution

Used NetNada marketplace to purchase 45 tCO2e from Gold Standard renewable energy project. Retirement completed in 48 hours. Certificate delivered before event.

Carbon neutral certification in 48 hours

Manufacturing (Forward Planning)

Challenge

Procurement wanted to lock in carbon offset pricing for 3-year carbon neutral commitment but spot prices were volatile.

Solution

Entered 3-year forward contract for 5,000 tCO2e annually at fixed $21/tCO2e. When spot prices hit $28 in year 2, saved $35,000 vs market rate.

$35k savings from price hedging

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this solution

What's the difference between ACCUs and VCUs?
ACCUs (Australian Carbon Credit Units) are issued under Australian Government's Emissions Reduction Fund. Recognized for Climate Active certification. VCUs (Verified Carbon Units) are international credits certified by Verra, Gold Standard, or other registries. Both represent 1 tonne CO2 reduced/removed. ACCUs trade at premium due to domestic recognition.
How do you verify projects aren't greenwashing?
Four-step vetting: (1) Quantification—third-party verified measurement methodology. (2) Additionality—financial analysis proves project wouldn't be viable without carbon revenue. (3) Permanence—legal agreements ensure storage duration (e.g., 100-year forestry covenants). (4) Sustainability—UN SDG alignment and community consultation documented.
Can I visit offset projects?
Yes for Australian projects (savanna burning, reforestation, landfill gas capture). We coordinate site visits with project developers. International projects provide video documentation and third-party audit reports.
Do offset prices include GST?
ACCUs purchased through Clean Energy Regulator auctions are GST-free. VCUs are typically GST-free as they're supplies of rights recognized internationally. We provide tax treatment guidance for your jurisdiction.
What happens if an offset project fails (e.g., forest burns)?
Permanence risk: For forestry projects, registries maintain buffer pools—extra credits set aside to cover reversals. If fire destroys forest, buffer credits replace your retired tonnes. We only list projects with robust buffer mechanisms (typically 15-30% buffer).
Can I use offsets for AASB S2 / CSRD compliance?
Offsets don't reduce Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions for disclosure purposes. AASB S2 requires separate reporting of emissions vs carbon credits. Offsets support carbon neutrality claims but don't change reported tCO2e in sustainability disclosures.
