Offsets offer a carbon polluter (like the operator of a steel plant) an additional option to comply with government rules that limit carbon pollution. Carbon offsets have been enabled under international law in the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and were first used internationally in 2001. WHAT ARE OFFSETS? HOW ARE OFFSETS USED?

The reason it’s considered a solution is that plants suck up carbon from the air while they grow. When we turn them into fuels and burn them, no new carbon is added to the atmosphere —the whole cycle is considered “carbon neutral.” But critics say biofuels’ carbon-neutrality is a mirage.
