Solar energy panels on CU campus

All campus offices can now purchase high-quality carbon offsets easily and at a great rate through the Environmental Center's new service. In order to centralize efforts in mitigating climate footprints, any campus department can purchase carbon offsets for travel, conferences, day-to-day use, employee commuting or large purchases. 

We have made the process easy for even first-time buyers. Simply fill out the online form, which will serve as an IN purchasing form. The Environmental Center will compile purchases monthly and purchase carbon offsets for you through their preferred vendor, currently Native Energy.

We have thoroughly vetted carbon-offset vendors, ensuring they are high-quality, third-party certified offsets with social equity benefits and educational potential, as well as considered cost and location. Purchasing through this new service also means we can aggregate and track campus carbon offset purchasing, while benefiting from a great bulk rate with Native Energy. By purchasing together, we can increase our impact!
