Carbon Credits

Greenhouse gas emissions is now recognized as a major contributor to global warming.  Globally, governments are beginning to act and under successful treaties like the Kyoto Protocol, realize that financial incentives are a key to early adopters of technology designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.   In the United States, the 1990’s saw federal cap and trade programs for sulfur dioxide and regional pollutants emerge into market-based environmental markets to tackle global environmental issues.  Today, environmental markets trade value exceeds $100 billion and is expected to grow into a trillion dollar market in the next decade. 

President Obama, a green Congress and a successor treaty to the Kyoto Protocol combine to give global strength and authority to the carbon credit markets.   Zero Energy Institute’s business analysts evaluate potential carbon credits a methane sequestration project may generate and provide the technical analysis to qualify a project for carbon offset generation.  We then work with our carbon credit partners to maximize long term returns and minimize risks associated trading in a commodity market.
