    Summary

    Energy Mad's view on the role of carbon offsets in addressing climate change

    "Carbon offsets provide a mechanism to leverage the introduction of zero/low greenhouse gas emission technologies.
    We manufacture energy saving light bulbs for the residential and commercial sectors. We also develop and implement greenhouse gas emission reduction projects. The goal of our organisation is to save 10% of the world's power. "
