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.
