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. This objective presents challenges because many offsets are difficult to measure. Emission reductions from regulated sources (e.g.,
