Carbon offsetting assessment as seen in France. 2023 edition on 2022 data

Info Compensation Carbone is an online information platform all about voluntary carbon offsetting which is supported by the ADEME. The objective of Info Compensation Carbone (InfoCC) is to inform and advise all potential users of carbon offsetting/contribution from a neutral standpoint. InfoCC helps disseminate best practices for both supply and demand and provides educational materials that anyone to access. As such, the platform promotes developing voluntary carbon dynamics in France in a more coherent and responsible manner. As part of its work to provide clarity and transparency about voluntary carbon offsetting/contribution, InfoCC annually publishes an assessment of these activities in France. This publication aims to provide quantitative and qualitative information about the state of the market by listing and qualifying carbon credits developed in France or sold by French operators. This new edition focuses on 2022. The data was collected from French operators of voluntary carbon offsetting/contribution, i.e. organisations (companies and associations) that sell carbon credits or equivalent products. They were consulted with qualitative interviews and a standardised survey. Their answers were collected between May and July 2023 and are kept anonymous in the interest of confidentiality
