Carbon Trading Concept- Enterprise Development
Objective:
Develop a protocol for landowners to sell carbon
(environmental) credits for applying conservation
practices on the land.
Environmental
Defense
http://www.environmentaldefense.org/home.cfm
has contracted with Central NY RC&D to assist them
in developing a protocol to allow landowners and
farmers in the Northeast to sell carbon credits to
interested buyers. CNY RC&D is designing a
procedure that would include landowners, Soil &
Water Conservation Districts, USDA-NRCS, and
aggregator and buyers to allow for the buying and
selling of these environmental credits.
Additionally, Environmental Defense, is being
assisted in adapting the Gold Standard (for
measuring amounts of carbon sequestered) to the
Northeast Region.
Central NY
RC&D has received funding from Environmental Defense
for preliminary work on developing a carbon trading
concept. It is the intention
of Central NY RC&D to accomplish various activities
including establishing
a preliminary scaled project concept for the
acquisition and sale of environmental (carbon)
credits. Additionally, activities will be
carried out which help develop the first steps
toward establishing offer sheets, and the testing of
a field manual for use in determining how carbon
credits are measured, accounted for and bought and
sold.
