Canada Introduces Carbon Offset Certificates to Combat Emissions

Canada began a credit system for greenhouse gas offsets on Wednesday, a significant component of its goal to reduce carbon emissions, beginning with a set of rules outlining how projects might create tradable credits by absorbing landfill gas.


The government reported that guidelines for four additional areas, including agriculture and forest management, are in development. This summer, it will also begin creating rules for carbon capture technology, on which Canada's highly polluting oil industry is relying to reduce emissions.


The Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has vowed to reduce climate-warming emissions by 40-45 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. 7 percent of Canada's total carbon output comes from greenhouse gas emissions from trash, including landfills.


The greenhouse gas offset credit system is designed to enable a domestic carbon offset trading market, and the government has stated that it will generate new economic opportunities for businesses and municipalities that reduce emissions.


Participants may register projects and earn one tradable offset credit for each tonne of emissions reduced or removed from the environment, provided their initiatives adhere to the federal offset regulations that specify which activities qualify.


The credits can subsequently be sold to others, such as big industrial polluters obligated to limit carbon pollution or businesses voluntarily offsetting their emissions.


"Beginning with landfills, we are implementing a market-based framework to encourage firms and municipalities to invest in pollution-reducing technology and innovations," stated Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault.


The government anticipates that the price of carbon credits would closely mirror Canada's carbon pricing, which is presently set at C$50 per tonne and will increase to C$170 per tonne by 2030.


However, environmental groups cautioned that enabling polluters to purchase offset certificates rather than reducing their own emissions could jeopardize climate goals.


Greenpeace Canada spokesman Shane Moffatt stated, "Offsetting does not prevent carbon from entering the atmosphere and warming our planet; it merely keeps it off the books of large polluters who are accountable."
