Founder and former President, Verdant Energy With the plethora of green projects in the market today, power producers are seizing the opportunity to tap into a new revenue stream; that of selling green credits generated from their renewable energy projects. And buyers are becoming plentiful, with Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) coming due in many U.S. states, and in compliance markets such as Canada’s Alberta Offset System, where emitters are keen to scoop up green credits to meet compliance objectives and avoid penalties. Join us for a complimentary, one hour webinar as Verdant Energy’s founder, Hal Hamilton, discusses best practices for attracting top dollar for your green credits. Verdant generated 80,000 tonnes of carbon offsets by burning biomass that would otherwise have produced greenhouse gases as it decomposed in landfills.
However, initial offers for the offsets didn’t meet Mr. Hamilton’s expectations, which ultimately led him to try World Energy’s online auction platform. Although he was skeptical at the outset, his concerns were assuaged as eight bidders competed in a series of auction events. The result? Mr. Hamilton’s carbon offsets yielded a far better price than his previous pre-auction discusssion. |
