The PROJECTS

Carbon Offset Categories

Prolific Matrix is focused on following the UN, EU, the United States, DOE, and EPA carbon initiatives. Below are just some of the current accredited carbon offset categories.

Afforestation/Reforestation areas

 Small afforestation/reforestation areas. 

Agricultural Activity

 Production of crops or livestock. 

Agricultural land

 Land with crops on solid ground. Also plantations not meeting definition of forest.


Air

Airplane

 Any kind of airplane-based transport. 

Animal Grazing

Grazing livestock in pasture land or any other land. 

Bicycle

 Bicycles, E-bikes and Tricycles 

Biomass

 Unless stated otherwise, renewable biomass is  implied. Types of biomass include residues, plant oil, wood. 

Buildings

Any kind of building.


Burning

Uncontrolled burning of biomass, flaring or venting  of waste gas 

Bus

Any kind of bus-based transport 

Bus Route

Any route where buses drive, from the origin to the  final stop.  

Car

Any kind of car-based transport. 

Catalysis

Catalysis of substances (i.e. GHGs) in order to convert  them into substances with less or no GWP 

Cement

Products such as clinker, cement, lime or bricks. 


Charcoal production

Charcoal production activity. 

Commercial Consumer

Commercial consumer, e.g. industrial or  institutional consumer. 

Consumer

Residential or commercial consumer. 

Contaminated Land

May indicate chemically polluted land (e.g. mine  spoils) or naturally hostile land (e.g. naturally  occurring salinity or alkalinity). The specific type  is shown in the icon caption. 

Controlled Burning

Any kind of combustion or decomposition in  a controlled manner to dispose combustible  substances. Also combustion to produce feedstock  such as CO2 or heat 

Cooling

Products such as clinker, cement, lime or bricks. 


Data Centers

Disposal

Any kind of disposal. E.g. landfilling.

Drinking Water

Electricity

Electricity Distribution Grid

This icon is used to depict an electricity distribution  system and is used when generated electricity is/ has to be supplied to the electricity grid or if the  project activity occurs directly within the electricity  distribution system. 

Electricity grid

This icon is used to depict all (fossil-fuel-fired) power  plants connected and providing electricity to the grid  (e.g. national or regional grid). 


Energy

Any kind of energy. This icon is used, if different  types of energy are depicted. E.g. electricity, heat,  steam or mechanical energy. 

Energy Distribution System

Any kind of energy distribution system. E.g.  electricity grid or heat distribution system 

Energy Generation

 Any kind of plant, facility or equipment used to  generate energy. This icon represents any co- or  tri-generation system as well as systems to provide  mechanical energy. The icon is also used, if either  electricity or heat are produced. 

Exploitation

Any kind of exploitation activity such as mining  activities, oil and gas production. 

Fixation of CO2 in Biomass

 Fixation of atmospheric CO2 from the atmosphere in  biomass through the process of photosynthesis 

Fossil Fuel

Any kind of fossil fuel used for combustion. Can be  gaseous, liquid or solid. E.g. natural gas, fuel oil,  coal 


Fuelwood collection

Collecting fuelwood without full-tree harvest. 

Gas

Any kind of combustible gas. E.g. natural gas,  methane, biogas, landfill gas.  

Gas distribution system

Any kind of gas distribution system. E.g. natural gas  pipeline system.  

Grassland

Grass on ground without cracks. 

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Emissions of greenhouse gases, i.e.: Carbon dioxide (CO2)  Methane (CH4)  Nitrous oxide (N2O 

Harvesting

Harvesting activity. 

These are just some of the current accredited carbon offset categories.
