What are offsets?
Carbon offsets are designed to mitigate the impact of energy use that can't be avoided or drawn from renewable sources.
Through the Carbon Offset Program, each carbon offset may be purchased for $4 per month, which will offset 500 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Participation in the Carbon Offset Program is an easy and inexpensive way to balance out the environmental consequences of our energy use. When you sign up now for the Carbon Offset Program, Duke Energy will match your first $4 purchase — doubling your positive impact. In fact, we’re matching every new participant’s first $4 contribution through 2009.
