Carbon offset programs involve the purchasing of greenhouse gas reduction credits from a project elsewhere to neutralize the impact of one's own emissions.. Carbon offsets provide an opportunity to defray production of carbon dioxide by rewarding or subsidizing someone else's carbon-saving behavior.
