THE COST OF corporate carbon offsetting could double by the end of the decade, according to a new analysis by Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC). Carbon offsetting, along with emerging carbon capture and storage technologies, is being widely relied on to meet net-zero carbon dioxide targets. ...
After drought killed a large portion of Senegal’s mangroves, restoration projects funded by international carbon trading have restored ecosystems and economies. But critics counter that the social costs of carbon offset programs can be steep, particularly in Africa. Photo by Nick Fox/Alamy Stock Pho...
Nations-generated offsets via the purchasingof carbonoffsets through the CDM and with advice from the secretariatofUNFCCC,carbonoffsetting could be achieved in a leastcostlyandmost efficient manner, obviating the costs for offset brokering.
International carbon dioxide offsets will not be available innsufficient quantities in the early years of a US cap-and-tradenprogram to effectively control the program's costs to the economynand more steps will be needed to prevent emission allowance costsnfrom soaring, the National Commission on ...

Our model results suggest that within 20 years and considering a carbon price of USD 50/tC, afforestation could offset one year of global carbon emissions in the energy sector. However, if we account for country risk considerations - associated with political, economic and and financial risks -...
Researchers have been analyzing the costs of carbon sequestration for approximately twelve years. The purpose of this paper is to critically review the car
rate charged on 4C holdings. The carbon recorded in the stocktake willnotbe available for trading as carbon offset credits (although 4C will be available for trading); and the retirement of all of the carbon that is recorded in the stocktake will make carbon offsets scarcer and more ...
Producing the materials needed for the infrastructure and objects we use every day accounts for more than 20% of global emissions. These are some of the most difficult industries to decarbonize, as we have few ready options to replace the coal, gas and o
