摘要

Canading farmers who sell carbon credits on the chicago Climate Exchange receive compensation for soil conservation practices they have been using for decades. Treena Hein explains how. Jeff Gross, one of the founders of C-Green Aggregators Ltd of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, is always ready to make a sale. C-Green is so far the only registered company in Canada which sells carbon dioxide (CO_2) credits from farm soil carbon sequestration in the provinces of Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan on theChicago Climate Exchange (CCX). These credits are bought by various companies that cannot meet their voluntary CO_2 reduction targets. The CCX is the only Exchange in North America that trades environmental commodities such as CO_2. It has been dealingin agricultural soil offsets since early 2005.
