New Project on Market Potential for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Offsets Is Under Way
In December of 2009, EPRI launched a new supplemental project called “Improving Emission Offset Estimates and Understanding Their Use as a Compliance Option under Evolving Climate Policies” (1020530).  As of Feb. 1, EPRI had received sufficient funding commitments to begin this project.  However, additional EPRI member companies are still needed to fully fund the project.  This project expands EPRI’s efforts to provide timely information, data, quantitative modeling, and critical analysis related to GHG offsets to help inform policy and regulatory development.  It aims to provide more-realistic estimates of the cost, market potential, and timing of possible GHG offset reductions.  The EPRI offsets project team plans its kick-off meeting with participating EPRI companies in conjunction with the March 2010 Environment Sector Advisors meeting in Orlando, FL.  For more information, contact Adam Diamant, (510) 260-9105, adiamant@epri.com, or Francisco de la Chesnaye, (202) 293-6347, pdelachesnaye@epri.com.
