US States Call for Tighter Carbon Credit Rules
01.30.08
Ten US states have called on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to tighten the rules governing sale of carbon offset credits, citing concerns over the transparency and regulation of the credits.
The states called for clarity in several areas, including a clear definition of 'additionality' or how much new carbon lowering activity and offset credit should support, and a standard way to measure baseline carbon emissions and reductions from offset projects.
The letter also voiced concerns that carbon offsets could be sold more than once, and also called for a decision on whether renewable energy credits – certificates for energy produced using renewable resources – could be counted as carbon offset credits.
