CCC has been designing comprehensive programs for the largest agricultural organizations in Canada enabling them to source and aggregate large amounts of carbon credits from agricultural activities.
CCC develops these programs to meet the demands of Large Final Emitters that require high quality, regulatory and pre-regulatory carbon offsets. Our CCAMS software is being used to source, quantify, and aggregate emission offsets using the provincial government-approved Alberta Offset System protocols and CSA’s GHG ISO 14064 specified Clean Project registry.

Background
Global carbon offset trading is a growing business. According to the World Bank, international carbon trade in 2008 exceeds US $1 billion. Sustainable agricultural practices present a key opportunity for the generation of carbon offset credits. The entry point for agriculture based markets in Western Canada consists of carbon sequestration via conservation tillage, summerfallow, methane capture, and planting shelterbelts and woodlots. North America has existing voluntary protocols for agriculture through the Chicago Climate Exchange, the Voluntary Carbon Standard and the Climate Action Reserve. In addition, the first North American Carbon Compliance System, the Alberta Offset System (ABOS) came into effect on July 1, 2007.
ABOS enables Large Final Emitters to reduce mandatory carbon tax payments with purchase of Alberta based Emission Offsets.
