A carbon credit has two states

1. Issued- the carbon credit is issued by an authority, e.g a government in compliance markets or a carbon registry as in the case of the voluntary.
2. Retirement- this is when a carbon credit is “consumed” to claim the environmental benefit. This process is irreversible, and is recorded on the carbon ledger at the carbon registry where the carbon credits are based.
