Subject: Comments in Support of the Rice Offset Protocol
Comment:
The Climate Action Reserve supports the decision by California Air Resources Board (ARB) to develop its Rice Protocol and strongly encourages the ARB Board to adopt this protocol. The Reserve developed our own Rice Cultivation Project Protocol in 2011, and has actively engaged throughout ARB’s Technical Working Group process for the Rice Protocol. Based on these experiences, we believe that the ARB staff has done an excellent job on the Draft Rice Protocol, particularly in terms of working with stakeholders to resolve concerns and improving upon existing methodologies such as ours. While we have a number of comments on the Draft Rice Protocol, we do believe many of the Reserve’s concerns may be easily resolved, and ultimately we support this protocol going before the Board for adoption in the near future.
