carbon compensation certificate Explanation: A lot can be read about this here, at http://www.nvalue.ch/our-products.html. The goal is to offset the effects of emission of carbon gases on the environment but allow for emissions where it is absolutely necessary by gaining these certificates by locally reducing levels of emission locally, buying a certificate aand selling it to those who cannot reduce their emissions. In this way, the second company pays and average emissions are still reduced reasonably on aggregate. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2014-04-08 21:31:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry for a few spelling mistakes ... it's late Example sentence(s):

carbon credit Explanation: A carbon credit is a generic term for any tradable certificate or permit representing the right to emit one tonne of carbon dioxide or the mass of another greenhouse gas with a carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) equivalent to one tonne of carbon dioxide.[1][2][3] Carbon credits and carbon markets are a component of national and international attempts to mitigate the growth in concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs). One carbon credit is equal to one metric tonne of carbon dioxide, or in some markets, carbon dioxide equivalent gases. Carbon trading is an application of an emissions trading approach. Greenhouse gas emissions are capped and then markets are used to allocate the emissions among the group of regulated sources. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_credit |
