Selling Carbon Offsets From Your Clean Energy Project
(October 2009) - Some energy efficiency and renewable energy projects can be made viable by selling “carbon offsets” or “carbon credits.” Carbon offsets from projects across the U.S. have been actively traded on voluntary markets since 2003 from a variety of project types including renewable energy, energy efficiency, methane-abatement, and forestry land projects.
This publication
will answer some questions about selling carbon offsets from your energy project.
