Infocast brought together experienced carbon market players, developers, and financiers from around the globe and discussed topics that included developing, certifying, and financing profitable GHG emission reduction projects.
Mr. Chris Berendt, Director - Environmental Markets & Policy, presented insight on the interplay of RECs and carbon offsets at this conference. Together, Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and other renewable energy projects make up about a third of the voluntary OTC market. Because RECs result from grid-connected renewable energy projects, the energy electrons from renewables are mixed with energy electrons from other forms of generation, leading to the question of how and if RECs should be converted into a tCO2e. He discussed what developers and customers need to know about values and exchanges.
