Joshua Tosteson, COO of climate conservation marketing company Everland, offers a defense of REDD+ carbon offsets. It is by now well recognised that nature-based climate solutions can provide more than a third of the carbon reductions needed to keep global warming below 2C, the target agreed at the Paris climate talks.

A group of exciting start-ups are exploring whether the world's trash mountains could become a valuable source of low carbon hydrogen fuels. Still, there is potential for clean - low- or zero-carbon - hydrogen to take off, energy experts believe. One novel spin on emerging hydrogen fuel options is "clean hydrogen" made from trash.

Animal agriculture is the largest emitter of methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide when measured over a 20 year period. He has used GWP* to claim that the US meat and dairy sector can become “climate-neutral” by the late 2040s by reducing emissions only two percent a year.

Early pioneers of these hydrogen-from-waste technologies such as Ways2H, SGH2 Energy (SGH2) and Standard Hydrogen say not only are they making carbon-free, energy-rich fuel, their approaches also will divert mountains of trash from landfills and waterways, cutting greenhouse gas emissions. There are other ways to make hydrogen.

One such critical tipping point is the potential transformation of the world’s largest tropical forests from carbon sinks into net sources of carbon emissions. Currently, carbon emissions that result from deforestation and forest degradation (often referred to as land-use change) are offset, in part, by new reforestation and regrowth.
