Carbon Offset Programs

Current market greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction and trading systems include a full portfolio of offset projects. Tradable contracts are issued to aggregators of eligible projects on the basis of sequestration, destruction or reduction of GHG emissions.

KarbonEx Corp’s management team to assist our clients in reaching the full potential of their operations supports the following programs.

Afforestation, Reforestation and Revegetation (ARR) | Agricultural Land Management (ALM) | Improved Forest Management (IFM) | Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) | Agricultural Methane | Landfill Methane | Renewable Energy | Energy Efficiency

Afforestation, Reforestation and Revegetaion (ARR):

Increasing carbon stocks in woody biomass (and in some cases soils) by establishing, increasing and restoring vegetative cover through the planting, sowing or human-assisted natural regeneration of woody vegetation.

Agricultural Land Management (ALM):

Decreasing GHG emissions (including increasing carbon stocks in soils and biomass) through the following eligible land use and management activities: improved cropland management, improved grassland management, and cropland and grassland land-use conversions.

Improved Forest Management (IFM):

Changing forest management activities to make a long-term reduction in GHG emissions through one of the following eligible activities: conversion from conventional logging to reduced impact logging (RIL), conversion of logged forests to protected forests (LtPF), and extending the rotation age of evenly aged managed forests (ERA).

Reducing Emissions from Deforestation (RED):

The reduction in GHG emissions from the reduced conversion of forestland to cropland, grassland, wetland, peatland and settled areas.

Agricultural Methane

Research shows on-farm methane digesters drastically reduce methane emissions into the environment. Methane is 20 times more potent as a greenhouse gas compared to carbon dioxide. Capturing and destroying methane helps the environment by reducing air emissions while generating useful energy that doesn't rely on fossil fuels.

Agricultural methane collection and combustion at livestock operations may be eligible for carbon credits. Eligible systems include covered anaerobic digesters, complete-mix, plug flow digesters, as well as covered lagoons.

Landfill Methane

Landfill methane capture and combustion projects that demonstrate measurable destruction of methane are eligible for carbon credit authorization. Methane collection projects that include electricity generation may also qualify for emission offsets from Renewable Energy based on displaced emissions.

Renewable Energy

Eligible renewable energy projects on the basis of displacement of CO2 emissions associated with fossil fuel based electricity may be eligible for carbon credit conversion. Eligible renewable energy projects include wind, solar, hydropower and biofuel that are not being used to meet obligations established by state or local mandates.

Energy Efficiency

Energy Efficiency can refer to any project that applies new technologies, processes or practices to achieve the same outcome while using less energy.
