Carbon Credit Retirement is the process of permanently removing a carbon credit from active circulation. This action confirms that a specific amount of carbon dioxide equivalent has been offset or reduced. Once retired, a credit cannot be re-used, ensuring the integrity of emission reduction claims. It is a critical step in environmental accounting.
