Carbon Overload
Every day we hear something new about climate change, greenhouse gases, carbon credits, cap-and-trade markets, carbon footprints, sequestration, environmental regulation, and so on. And we hear the names of many organizations that are taking action: the UN releasing a report; the California Air Resources Board setting emission rules for cars sold in California; Apple or PepsiCo saying they will reduce their greenhouse gas inventory by half in 10 or 15 years; or a power generation company using carbon credits to offset a portion of their emissions to meet requirements under a cap-and-trade system.
How do all of these organizations and systems relate to each other? As a representative for your company, which pieces of the puzzle matter most to you? What can you expect when your company needs to take action on its emissions?
The general principles are simpler than you might think. And until recently, implementing changes needed to reduce emissions has probably been about as difficult as you think it would be. Although a lot of work remains to be done, new standards and organizations have been evolving to simplify and accelerate implementation. Most of the focus for the last 30 years has been on power generation and transportation. CIBO has been working to do this for agriculture. In this publication, we will look at how the pieces all fit together.
