emission reduction units
Emission reduction units (ERUs) are a type of tradable financial instrument that represents a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. They are issued under programs like the Kyoto Protocol and are awarded to projects that successfully decrease their emissions below a predetermined baseline. ERUs can be bought and sold in carbon markets, allowing purchasers to offset their own emissions by supporting emission reduction projects.
