Selling offsets allows companies to buy them instead of investing in reducing emissions (or, in free market speak, increasing supply drives down their price and causes them to outcompete other options). Thus this sort of project would have been approximately carbon neutral, no?

I guess it depends on what offsets consist of and whether they're genuinely induced by companies being willing to pay for them
