Our Offset Projects

PATT Foundation is able to provide high quality voluntary carbon offsets to both individuals and business wanting to offset their emissions through a voluntary offset scheme. Our expertise is in reforestation, as such our carbon offsets are generated through the establishment of indigenous native forests.

PATT Foundation does not purchase and resell offsets from a third party project. We implement, manage and oversee all our own offset projects. We do work in partnership with local people and organizations and own staff are integral in the implementation of all offset projects. We feel this approach assures the quality and success of the project. Our offset projects produce high quality offsets that not only address climate change but also a number of additional social and environmental issues. These co-benefits help to maintain and enhance local biodiversity, prevent soil erosion, improve water quality, and provide income, livelihoods and resources for indigenous communities.

At present PATT offers two levels of carbon offsets: Premium and Standard. Both types of offset achieve a number of co-benefits in addition to the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere.

Premium Carbon Offsets

Premium Level

Our premium carbon offsets are generated within our United Nations award winning carbon bank and village development project. An ecologically diverse native community forest is established within rural communities in the North East of Thailand. Funds provided through premium offset purchases not only enable the planting of trees but also the establishment of a microfinance system that allows local people to free themselves from poverty. This innovative use of the carbon market to achieve social and environmental benefits was recently recognized the prestigious United Nations Seed award committee (UN Seed award). This option of offset is for discerning customers who want to support a project that has far reaching and multiple benefits.

Standard Carbon Offsets

Standard Level

Our standard carbon offsets are generated within a project site located in the Khao Yai region of Thailand. Khao Yai is an ecologically sensitive region and home to a number of threatened and endangered plant and animal species, including some of the last remaining tiger populations in Thailand. Over the years the forest habitat in this region has suffered degradation from illegal encroachment, fire and past logging activities.

PATT Foundation is now involved in the restoration of areas both within and adjacent to Khao Yai National park. By purchasing our standard carbon offsets you will be providing funds that not only mitigate climate change by planting indigenous trees but also create valuable new habitat for native wildlife.

Furthermore through the implementation of this project we are able to provide further income generating activities for the local people. For example, we currently employ local people to work within our native tree nursery and as forest restoration managers. We also aim to provide education on forest management to both children and adults as it is vitally important local people see a value in the forest and in time will act as forest guardians.
