Synopsis

Reduce Carbon Compliance CostsStrategies for California and Quebec facilities to reduce their compliance cost in the Carbon Cap and Trade Program. I have been tracking, trading, brokering and consulting in the environmental credit markets almost two decades in the United States and Canada. The California and Quebec carbon cap and trade program is by far the most complex system that exists for an environmental credit trading program. The target audience for this book is the environmental professionals or the procurement professionals who are managing the carbon cap and trade compliance for their facilities in California and Quebec. I am writing this book to provide a good overview of the program as well as to share some of the cost-cutting compliance strategies I have developed and deploy with my clients. From 2013 onwards, the Carbon Cap and Trade has added millions of dollars of cost to the many facilities located in California and Quebec that emit more than 25,000 tons of CO2e per year. The rules are complex and change almost yearly. Environmental professionals at these facilities already had a full-time job complying with all the other existing environmental regulations for their facilities before these carbon cap and trade programs were thrust upon them. Now they must also deal with coming to understand more than 400 pages of regulation in California and 117 pages in Quebec. This is a daunting task, to say the least. It is extremely difficult for an environmental professional to become an expert on all existing regulations, keep track of and analyze future potential regulation changes, track the trading market, become an expert on all the trading structures available in the evolving market, recommend the best trading strategies, and then execute the trades. This book will assist the environmental professionals and procurement professionals by providing an overview of the key elements of the carbon cap and trade regulations. In these pages you will find real-life trading strategies that will reduce the cost of compliance and, depending on the size of your facility, the savings could shave millions of dollars off your compliance costs which adds directly to the bottom line of the company’s profitability.
