What determines the cost of a carbon credit?

The cost of a carbon credit depends on the country and the type of project. Projects based in the Netherlands are often more expensive due to higher land and labor costs compared to projects in other countries. Initiatives that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, such as through agriculture or reforestation, are typically less costly than projects that use technology to reduce carbon emissions. Ecommit calculates a single price that takes into account the combined costs of our various projects.
