There are a vast number of technologies and practices that can be employed to reduce GHG emissions for the purpose of generating offsets. In addition, GHG emissions can be offset through certain kinds of land use and forestry practices that remove CO2 from the atmosphere. According to a survey from 2006, projects involving land use and forestry practices are in fact the most common type being funded by voluntary offset purchases. 12 The next most common type of project involves renewable energy production, followed by demand-side energy efficiency improvements (Table 1). 13 The proportion of actual emission reductions or removals may be.
