Bluesource’s Hawthorne Improved Forest Management Project

Compliance Carbon Markets

In regions where greenhouse gas regulations exist, certain facilities are required to limit their emissions to established levels. Often this can be accomplished by internal reductions or by purchasing compliance instruments such as allowances, offsets and emissions performance credits. Bluesource operates within both the Western Climate Initiative (WCI) cap-and-trade framework for California and Quebec and the Alberta Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) system.

When a company with no obligation seeks to address its impacts on climate change, these transactions occur in the voluntary market. Learn more about Bluesource’s voluntary credits. 

Western Climate Inititative (California and Quebec)

Since California’s first compliance period in 2013, Blueosurce has refined and simplified the offset purchasing process. All Bluesource offset projects are developed with quality and integrity top of mind, and our unmatched development experience reduces invalidation and delivery risks. Our credits are primarily forestry (IFM and AC) and Mine Methane Capture.

 

Bluesource compliance eligible offsets are available under the following contractual structures:
