BASE: RESPONDENTS WHO KNOW THAT A CARBON OFFSET IS A WAY OF REDUCING CARBON DIOXIDE
AND OTHER GREENHOUSE GASES (Q805/3)
Q830
Suppose you are considering buying an airline ticket to travel a long distance. One airline advertises that
“For every flight you take with us, we will buy carbon offsets to offset the greenhouse gas emissions from your flight.”
The airline chooses to purchase offsets that involve capturing and destroying methane, a greenhouse gas that is
commonly released into the atmosphere as a result of certain mining operations. In order to capture the methane,
special equipment must be installed at the mine.
Below are descriptions of two such mine methane capture projects that offer to sell offsets to the airline. Both projects
result in reduced emissions of greenhouse gases. However, the timing of the reductions differs.
For each of these, please indicate whether you agree or disagree with the airline’s statement that the offsets it is
purchasing will offset the greenhouse gas emissions from your flight.

The equipment to capture the methane is already installed and is operating. The methane
represented by the offsets will be captured and destroyed in the next few months.

2

While the capture project has been designed, the equipment to capture the methane is not
presently installed. The mining company is using the money raised from the sale of offsets to pay
the cost of purchasing and installing the necessary equipment. It will be several years before the
methane represented by the offsets will be captured and destroyed, because it will take that long to
raise the necessary funds and install the equipment.
