What is the difference between avoidance and removal credits?
sourced
Avoidance credits represent emissions prevented against a baseline - methane not released, fossil fuel not burned. Removal credits represent carbon durably taken out of the atmosphere, such as biochar. They are different asset classes, they price roughly 10-20 times apart, and they must never be added together.
