New Ground: New Protocol Types and Offset Supply

Although regulated entities in California will be able to use carbon offsets to meet only eight percent of their compliance obligation under cap-and-trade, many observers are concerned that offsets will be in short supply, especially after 2014. Amid these concerns, there is much speculation around possible domestic project types that California and WCI may add to their programs to boost supply. This session will examine the prospects for including additional offset types in the California and WCI programs and their potential for addressing supply concerns.
