A carbon credit is a unit of carbon equivalent that is either removed or avoided from the atmosphere according to a set of protocols determined by either regulators or third party registries. In 2018, Verra, which manages the leading global program for the certification of GHG emission reduction projects, approved a voluntary carbon credit methodology […]
Sacramento, CA — Executive Officer of the California Air Resources Board Richard Corey unilaterally rejected a petition request from a coalition of environmental justice, animal protection, and community groups to immediately initiate a rulemaking to eliminate credits for factory farm gas from one of California’s premier climate programs, the Low Carbon Fuel Standard. “Governor Newsom […]

Plastic scrap trade from Europe to non-OECD countries fell under the notification process from that date until 20 October when the European Commission updated regulation 1418/2007. The most interesting development of 2021 which will change the shape of our plastics recycling industry is an acceptance of the concept of ‘carbon credit’ for every tonne of […]
If the value of the carbon credits goes up or can be sold later at a profit then the stream becomes more valuable, thereby potentially boosting the value of the carbon streaming acquirer. CEO Justin Cochrane stated in January 2022: “Moving into 2022, we anticipate the delivery of approximately 7.0 million carbon credits from our […]
The bank gave them a strong buy rating and C$21 12-month price target, saying that this business model could turn into a “rushing river.” They say that their bullishness comes from a number of factors. As explained above, Carbon Streaming purchases up-front an annual stream of carbon credits from carbon offset projects, which will eventually […]
If you’re traveling again and have any amount of anxiety over climate change, you might have considered whether to buy carbon offset credits to minimize the environmental impact of your flight.

Measurement has been an essential part of our move […]
Using the example of a non-profit project in northern Germany that uses offset dollars to restore local degraded peatlands to their natural state as extremely rich carbon storehouses, the video makes clear that offsets can be “legit” if several criteria are all met: a project actually reduces carbon emissions, more or less permanently; the carbon […]
If you produce it using a clean, zero emissions source, like electricity from wind or solar, you’ve mostly eradicated that specific problem. As I wrote in a thread last week, the infamous Victorian ‘Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain’ project serves as an incredible package of the worst, most alarming efforts to preserve the lifespan of fossil […]
Taxing corporations and consumers for the amount of carbon emissions they generate can be a great way to deal with climate change—so say many leading politicians, economists and environmental activists. Yet those same taxes also generate controversy wherever they’re adopted or proposed, even causing political leaders to lose elections. The researchers’ findings are published today […]

If you’re traveling again and are worried about climate change, you might have considered buying carbon offset credits to minimize the environmental impact of your flight. Carbon offsetting is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in one location and supplements the emissions generated in another location. The gold standard estimates the carbon footprint based on […]
