MARCH 22, 2010

Since 2005, when major greenhouse-gas emitters among the Kyoto signatories were issued caps on their emissions and permitted to buy credits to meet those caps, there has been more than $300 billion worth of carbon transactions. The approval process for carbon offsets has two goals. THE APPROVAL PROCESS.

Perspective: The Role of Offsets in Climate Change Legislation

Green Car Congress

MARCH 6, 2010

If a cap-and-trade program includes offsets, regulated entities have the opportunity to purchase the “emission credits” generated by carbon offset projects to help them meet their compliance obligations. In this way, offsets would complement the more traditional emissions trading that can occur between two covered sources.
