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.
Small afforestation/reforestation areas.
Production of crops or livestock.
Land with crops on solid ground. Also plantations not meeting definition of forest.
Any kind of airplane-based transport.
Grazing livestock in pasture land or any other land.
Bicycles, E-bikes and Tricycles
Unless stated otherwise, renewable biomass is implied. Types of biomass include residues, plant oil, wood.
Any kind of building.
Uncontrolled burning of biomass, flaring or venting of waste gas
Any kind of bus-based transport
Any route where buses drive, from the origin to the final stop.
Any kind of car-based transport.
Catalysis of substances (i.e. GHGs) in order to convert them into substances with less or no GWP
Products such as clinker, cement, lime or bricks.
Charcoal production activity.
Commercial consumer, e.g. industrial or institutional consumer.
Residential or commercial consumer.
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.
Any kind of combustion or decomposition in a controlled manner to dispose combustible substances. Also combustion to produce feedstock such as CO2 or heat
Products such as clinker, cement, lime or bricks.
Any kind of disposal. E.g. landfilling.
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.
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).
Any kind of energy. This icon is used, if different types of energy are depicted. E.g. electricity, heat, steam or mechanical energy.
Any kind of energy distribution system. E.g. electricity grid or heat distribution system
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.
Any kind of exploitation activity such as mining activities, oil and gas production.
Fixation of atmospheric CO2 from the atmosphere in biomass through the process of photosynthesis
Any kind of fossil fuel used for combustion. Can be gaseous, liquid or solid. E.g. natural gas, fuel oil, coal
Collecting fuelwood without full-tree harvest.
Any kind of combustible gas. E.g. natural gas, methane, biogas, landfill gas.
Any kind of gas distribution system. E.g. natural gas pipeline system.
Grass on ground without cracks.
Emissions of greenhouse gases, i.e.: Carbon dioxide (CO2) Methane (CH4) Nitrous oxide (N2O
Harvesting activity.
