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.
