Question 1

How is this different from other carbon offset providers?

Accepted Answer

Abatify is a procurement service, not a traditional offset provider. We aggregate orders to access institutional-grade carbon projects at wholesale pricing. Instead of keeping the savings, we retire more carbon on your behalf — typically 20% more than you ordered. You get institutional-grade projects, extra climate impact at no extra cost, and full transparency via public registry records.

Question 2

When will my credits be retired?

Accepted Answer

Your certificate is issued after payment confirmation. Your purchase is added to a future retirement batch. Retirement is carried out periodically at Abatify's discretion.

Question 3

Can I see proof of retirement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once retirement is complete, your Abatify registry page will be updated with full retirement details including the registry used, serial number ranges, and the projects your purchase supported. All retirements are executed on verified public registries.

Question 4

What projects do my credits support?

Accepted Answer

Abatify uses a diversified portfolio approach, prioritizing projects verified by leading registries (Verra, Gold Standard, ACR) that meet strict additionality requirements. Our project mix typically includes reforestation, renewable energy, methane capture, and clean cookstove distribution.

Question 5

Is this tax-deductible?

Accepted Answer

No. Carbon offset purchases are generally not tax-deductible for individuals. Abatify provides the service of institutional-grade procurement and permanent retirement. What you get is verified, permanent carbon retirement at a better rate than buying retail credits individually, plus a 20%+ overset at no extra cost.

Question 6

What if a project I supported fails or is found to be invalid?

Accepted Answer

Abatify uses rigorous due diligence. We only buy from projects verified by leading third-party registries, use a portfolio approach across multiple project types and geographies, and prioritize projects that Fortune 500 companies also buy from. If a project is later found to be invalid, the registry typically invalidates those credits and may require replacement credits. Our diversified portfolio approach minimizes the impact of any single project issue.
