Sentences with phrase «ghg emission reduction credits»

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) was created under the Kyoto Protocol to allow Annex I countries to obtain GHG emission reduction credits for projects that reduced GHG emission in non-Annex I countries, provided that those projects contributed to the sustainable development of the host country (UNFCCC, 1997).

Title V: Agricultural and Forestry Related Offsets - Subtitle A: Offset Credit Program From Domestic Agricultural and Forestry Sources -(Sec. 502) Requires the Secretary to establish a program governing the generation of offset credits from domestic agricultural and forestry sources to ensure that: (1) offset credits represent verifiable and additional GHG emission reductions or avoidance, or increased sequestration; and (2) offset credits issued for sequestration offset projects are only issued for GHG reductions that result in a permanent net reduction in atmospheric GHGs.

Requires the EPA Administrator to issue regulations allowing: (1) any person to exchange instruments in the nature of offset credits issued before January 1, 2009, by an approved state or a voluntary offset program for emission allowances; and (2) the EPA Administrator to provide compensation in the form of emission allowances for other documented early reductions or avoidance of GHG emissions or GHGs sequestered before January 1, 2009, that meet specific conditions.

Requires the EPA Administrator to promulgate regulations establishing a program for the issuance of offset credits that: (1) ensure that such offset credits represent verifiable and additional GHG emission reductions or avoidance, or increases in sequestration; (2) ensure that offset credits issued for sequestration offset projects are only issued for GHG reductions that are permanent; and (3) include as reductions in GHGs reductions achieved through the destruction of methane and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or other ozone depleting substances.

The Methodology provides a performance standard - based quantification framework for the creation of carbon offset credits from the resulting reduction in GHGs from the use of alternatives to HFC - based foam blowing agents and is intended to be used as an incentive for the industry to make the transition to low emissions alternatives.

The business potential is nicely embodied by AgCert International (AgCert ™), a business that sells credits for those greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions.
