-- Not later than 90 days
after the end
of each calendar
year, the Administrator shall establish and distribute to the entity taking the actions described in subparagraph (A), (B), or (C)
of paragraph (1) a quantity
of compensatory allowances equivalent to the
number of tons
of carbon dioxide equivalent
of avoided
emissions achieved through such actions.
Our analysis shows that even
after adjusting for fugitive
emissions, which is around 0.4 % for the US (EDGAR 4.1 / 2005 estimate), there is a difference
of more than 100 million tons between IEA and UNFCCC
numbers for the
year 2006.
