Our Projects and Portfolios
Our Carbon Credit Projects
The carbon offset projects offered by Planetair are all Gold Standard certified.
Gold Standard carbon credits are the best you can get. They assure you that your investment will lead to positive benefits that are real, additional and verified, and not only symbolic.
Projects in which Planetair invests include energy efficiency, renewable energy, water management and community projects. These projects are deployed around the world.
Climate change is largely the result of the lifestyles and economic models of developed countries. However, it is the poorest countries that often bear the brunt of climate change. These countries have little or no means to combat climate change. For this reason, Planetair believes it is essential that part of the carbon financing be dedicated to less wealthy countries.
Our Portfolios
We group the projects we support into various portfolios.
The Planetair Global Portfolio is our core portfolio. It includes various Gold Standard certified projects that neutralize greenhouse gas emissions in a real, additional and verified way. This portfolio offers the best value for money.
Our other portfolios include the same Gold Standard projects as the Planetair Global portfolio, plus Canadian and Quebec climate projects. These portfolios thus increase the local impact of your investment in addition to international Gold Standard projects.

Planetair Global Portfolio
Price: 25 $ (CAN) / tonne
Location: Multiple countries
Portfolio Type: Gold Standard Credits
The Planetair Global Portfolio is our core portfolio. It comprises various projects that neutralize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a real, additional, transparent, and verified manner. Each tonne of GHG is offset by a Gold Standard certified credit.
The portfolio offers the best value for money. It is designed for people who wish to neutralize their climate impact in an efficient manner and at the best possible price.
The credits originate from various types of projects (wind, solar, energy recovery, etc.). The climate benefits of these projects are immediate, unlike those of trees, which can take up to 70 years to capture a tonne of carbon. With the climate crisis accelerating, we do not have the luxury of waiting all these years to offset the greenhouse gases we emit today.
To be certified, the projects must be audited by independent evaluators against the stringent Gold Standard requirements. The Gold Standard requires projects to contribute to at least three UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), including Goal 13, which pertains to the fight against climate change.
