Emissions Credit Market

• When you buy offsets, you essentially pay someone
  to reduce or remove global warming pollution in
  your name.
• For example, when you buy 10 tons of carbon
  offsets, the seller guarantees that 10 fewer tons
  of global warming pollution go into the
  atmosphere.

Blue Source in Texas

• Blue Source is North Americas largest supplier
  of greenhouse gas emission reductions, partnering
  with Fortune 500 companies to reduce their
  greenhouse gas emissions.
• This Texas project captures waste CO2 gas from
  natural gas treating plants and transports the
  CO2 through a pipeline for injection underground
  in enhanced oil recovery. The CO2 used for this
  process, which would otherwise be vented into the
  atmosphere by the gas processing plant, is
  sequestered in underlying bedrock that formerly
  held the oil.

Kyoto Protocol Sidetrack

• One reason that the greenhouse gas programs are
  still small is that the U.S., in failing to
  ratify the Kyoto Treaty, has not committed itself
  to any kind of emissions cap. "The credits are
  being traded in what we call an uncertain
  'pre-compliance' market," says Morrill.
  "Companies get involved because it's a way of
  hedging their bets and preparing for the controls
  they think are inevitable. If they buy credits
  now and hoard them, they could be very valuable
  down the road. All indications are pointing in
  that direction."
