<strong>Emissions</strong><br />
Offset Credit<br />
Scope 3 emissions from sources that an airport operator can<br />
influence and can therefore be included in an airport’s GHG<br />
emissions management programme.<br />
Scope 3 emissions from sources that an airport operator cannot<br />
influence to any reasonable extent.<br />
An offset credit is generated upon the implementation, monitoring,<br />
and certification of an off-site project that reduces CO 2 emissions<br />
(or sequesters CO 2 ), reductions that would not have occurred<br />
without that project.<br />
Offsetting Offsetting is to “cancel out” or “neutralize” emissions of CO 2<br />
(and other GHG emissions) by financing projects that reduce CO 2<br />
emissions (or result in the removal of atmospheric CO 2 ) and that<br />
would not have otherwise been implemented. <strong>Airport</strong> operators can<br />
achieve this by purchasing properly certified offset credits.<br />
