Yes. There is coal and diamond.
Carbon Credits refer to carbon dioxide, or equivalent greenhouse gasses. In themselves they are waste products, and not worth much. Exchanges have been set up to allow some to purchase credits, which is someone else doing something to reduce or absorb greenhouse gases. Presumably, this is audited so that you are actually getting what you pay for.
Last time I checked, prices were about $4 (US) per ton.
*IF* your country has made it a law to reduce carbon, these credits can be pretty valuable. You can burn 1/3 ton of coal, and buy a ton of credit, and the balance is zero. (the other 2/3 ton of "carbon" is the oxygen that combines with the coal).

It's the new fad. Carbon credits are the pet rock of the 21st century.

Haha, carbon credits...let's pay for the energy, and then pay for it again.
