This is well needed information, I am currently working on an article for this topic. Will be sure to drop that here for your feedback once I am done. Thank you for your contributions to this space.

[@TheSamboly]

[@CarbonMarketNews]

Great STuff would love to see some updates

Very insightful presentation about carbon credits. I got a bit confused in the last part when he said about methanogens eating methane, they actually produce it. Methanotrophos on the other hand eat methane.

[@1adamgarcia2003]

I haven't thought of that, but it is true. Probably he meant methanotrophs, but in the end do they produce CO2?. So, it is just switching from one gas to another, even though warming potential of methane is higher than of CO2.

Is there any dataset available on the Carbon credit? If I want to predict how much time a solar panel takes to generate a certain credit. I am not able to find any dataset.

[@aneesahmad3989]

Thank you for this webinar.
I have some questions
- how the credits are quantified?
- how the credits are certified and by whom?
- how a company can create the credits and what is the methodology to do that?

[@aneesahmad3989]

specially methodology generating credits in agriculture sectors and their quantification.

[@thehoneybeeambassador6548]

Can i generate carbon credits which I can sell by growing trees on large heaters of land

[@ardendragoon]

Nope.

[@thehoneybeeambassador6548]

Can anyone any where in the world invest in carbon credits

[@vinyong88]

Can a farmer earn carbon credit using bio char in farming ?

[@ardendragoon]

Nope. This scam is only for rich connected people and companies.

[@thuhiendang6454]

Am I right to think that both "carbon allowance" like EUAs and "carbon offset credit" are "carbon credit"? Like there are 2 types of carbon credit?

[@jordanlippy]

Yes, multiple types of credits and multiple types of markets

[@dayofadunsin4357]

How can my plastic recycling company register to start earning carbon/plastic credit. Any link to the process?

[@ROSHANLAL-jo2ni]

[@walterlouiechan]

[@Sunil-lf2nc]

[@tingtiewchin7681]

[@timothyhill5140]

Where is the meridian prime?

[@SoberIn40]

Alastair, do you have an email address?

[@jobro6779]

In other words, the more carbon credits a factory buys, the more the factory is allowed to pollute.

[@thehoneybeeambassador6548]

Do bamboo plantations sequester carbon

[@WhatAboutNepal]

Actually, I'm just beginning or exploration into the subject, but I remember reading bamboo is one of the best. All you need to do is do it and document it well. I really want to do something with bamboo here in Nepal. I'm not an expert, but I think it's one of the best.

[@roberthicks1612]

The entire purpose of carbon credits and credit trading is to take money from the poor and middle class and give it to the rich.

[@DonGardonio]

Maybe you could turn that around

[@roberthicks1612]

@@DonGardonio There is no way the carbon tax and tax credits can help the poor or middle class. It was entirely created as a scam to take money from poor and middle class. In order for a company, say a logging company that plants trees so they can harvest them in a few years, can sell the credits they get for planting trees to remove co2 from the air to a company that emits co2 as apart of the process to make things, is to go through a credit exchange company such as the many that Al Gore (the one that pushed them hardest) owns shares in. Virtually every person that owns shares in those companies is rich and they get tons of money off the credit exchange. This means that all the people that pushed for carbon tax gets rich off the tax exchange and no co2 is removed from the air that would not already be removed.

[@emanuellandeholm5657]

So heres the problem. Thermodynamics. No amount of policy and or regulation is going to change that.

[@mikefenomeno99]

LOL

[@ardendragoon]

Carbon credits = air.
The green scam continues.
