Power Research Institute to Hold Auction Of Stewardship Credits in New York City

摘要

The Electric Power Research Institute plans in March 2015 to hold the first public auction of stewardship credits generated by farming practices that reduce a pound of nitrogen or phosphorus and yield ancillary benefits, such as protecting pollinator habitat, sequestering carbon or avoiding greenhouse gas emissions. The upcoming auction will sell about 90,000 credits generated by farmers in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky who are participating in the interstate Ohio River Basin Water Quality Trading Project, Jessica Fox, project manager for EPRI, said in a Dec. 17 interview with Bloomberg BNA.
