Met welke omstreden projecten compenseren gemeenten hun aardgasverbruik?

Greenhouse gas emissions must be drastically reduced if we are to achieve the climate goals. But what if it is much easier and cheaper not to reduce your emissions but to offset them? Pointer delves into dubious projects with which municipalities 'compensate' for their natural gas consumption, such as a Turkish wind farm, Indian hydroelectric power station and a coal-fired Chinese steel factory. Experts see many problems in this market. The CO2 certificates are far too cheap, human rights are being violated and there are too many perverse incentives in an unregulated market.
