Brighter Planet supports domestic, community-based projects. Our portfolio includes a blend of many small-scale offset projects from communities across the county. Currently, we support several types of projects:
- Wind turbines that reduce emissions by causing nearby fossil fuel power plants to turn down their operations.
- Farm methane digesters that reduce emissions by burning methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and generate heat or electricity that avoids the need to burn fossil fuels.
- Biogas projects that reduce emissions by burning methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and generate heat or electricity that avoids the need to burn fossil fuels.
- Sustainable forestry projects that reduce emissions by legally ensuring that tracts of forest are managed perpetually for increasing carbon stocks.
