Such a protocol would enable producers to obtain a verifiable credit for net carbon uptake in biofuel or fuel feedstock products.
Also included are extensions for wind and solar energy tax credits, incentives for carbon sequestration projects and a credit for owners of plug-in electric vehicles.
Abandoning an automatic credit for biogenic carbon is the only way to define a consistent GHG accounting framework without resorting to unverifiable assumptions about the extent of net carbon uptake that complicate other approaches, DeCicco argues.
The European Union argues that one credit must equal one tonne of carbon dioxide for its Emissions Trading Scheme, the largest emissions market, to be effective.
That's just 10% what the plant emits, but Jones argues Skyonic should get credit for avoiding 220, 000 tons of carbon dioxide because it is creating products, like hydrogen, that would otherwise come from natural gas and release lots of carbon dioxide.
Each credit is the right to emit one metric ton of carbon dioxide or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases.
