Why support these projects?

Through this Climate Active eligible portfolio, you can support credible decarbonisation, invest in improving health and community outcomes, and finance conservation of native Australian biodiversity.

This portfolio brings together high-impact clean cooking and renewable energy carbon solutions that address both household health and national decarbonisation, while extending that impact to conservation efforts locally.

World Vision Clean Cookstoves Project: Efficient cookstove distribution in rural Ethiopia reduces smoke exposure for women and children while easing pressure on rapidly declining forests. More than 100,000 stoves and 250 women-led cooperatives now support safer cooking and improved livelihoods.

Cepco Wind Power Project: Registered under the UN’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project advances India’s 2030 renewable‑energy goals by expanding wind-solar capacity in Rajasthan while also investing into local communities, boosting jobs, infrastructure, and long‑term energy resilience.

Together, these projects deliver verifiable emissions reductions, meaningful community benefits, and scalable pathways toward cleaner energy and healthier living conditions. 

Coorong Lakes Ecosystem Restoration: Each Biological Diversity Unit (1 Sq. meter of land) issued by our project partner, Wilderlands, provides legally-backed permanent protection and 20 years of active management of a designated area within the Coorong Lakes region, located south of Meningie in South Australia. The reserve is owned and managed by Cassinia Environmental as a conservation reserve in partnership with local Ngarrindjeri people.

For businesses looking to make a verifiable global and local impact. 

Ecosystems around the planet are under threat from farming, logging and invasive species.  

This “Climate + Biodiversity” portfolio solution from TEM in partnership with Wilderlands enables businesses to fund the permanent protection of Australian native ecosystems in South Australia while simultaneously purchasing an equivalent volume of carbon abatement, with each tonne of carbon retired alongside one biodiversity credit on a 1:1 basis.

 

This combined approach meets the requirements of the Australian Government’s Climate Active program, with both the carbon units and biodiversity credits independently issued and retired on separate registries.

Where does my money go?

Your purchase goes to the procurement of fully verified and independently audited carbon offset projects. TEM’s operational, due-diligence, risk management and marketing costs are also included in the list price. By purchasing from these projects, you are mobilising capital to support the project’s ongoing operations and benefits, alongside of ensuring measurable emissions reductions and avoidance.

What goes into pricing TEM's offsets on this site?

You may find a difference between the cost of projects listed on this site and the average prices listed on the wholesale carbon market/s. That’s because TEM offers projects where we have gone the extra mile to ensure their integrity and deliver you the end-to-end service that others won’t. Our pricing is fully inclusive of the end-to-end services to ensure integrity, including:

  • The cost to source, deliver and/or procure projects – Sourcing, purchasing and holding carbon units.
  • TEM’s proprietary due diligence and risk management for each project – Put simply, we do the work to limit the chance that you will support a project that doesn’t deliver measurable and long-term carbon abatement.
  • Our retirement process – Following each purchase, every carbon offset purchased on this site can be transparently traced to a retired carbon unit listed on an independent registry.
    What will I receive with my purchase?

    Once we’ve received your payment, we will:

    • Send you content and copy (if available) relating to the projects you’re supporting.
    • Evidence of retirement, which includes the listing on each registry that relates to the offsets you have purchased within a TEM-branded retirement certificate. You will receive an email once your order is placed to confirm retirement copy for your certificate – this details the reason for retirement and is best practice to avoid double counting. The cost for a company-specific retirement certificate = $150 per order. Note: you will need individual retirement for Climate Active and other certification purposes.
    • Keep you updated on new projects as they’re added to TEM Online. Of course-you can choose to opt out of those emails!
