Canada releases draft offset system guidelines


Posted on June 17, 2009

On June 10, 2009, the federal government released for comment long-awaited draft guidance, which was originally promised for last fall, on a proposed Canadian offset system for greenhouse gases (GHGs). Under the proposed offset system, Environment Canada plans to issue "offset credits" to projects in Canada that reduce or remove GHG emissions when not required by law to do so. Project proponents could then sell these credits.
