ClimeCo Corporation strongly supports the proposed California Air
Resources Board (ARB) compliance offset protocol for mine methane
capture (MMC) projects.

Offset credits represent a crucial cost containment mechanism to
help the California cap-and-trade program achieve GHG emission
reductions in an economically efficient manner. 

As a respected advisor and trader of environmental commodity market
products, ClimeCo has specialized expertise in California
cap-and-trade, voluntary market advisory and project financing of
internal CO2 abatement systems. ClimeCo managed projects generate
in excess of 3 million credits per year, including a diverse
commodity portfolio which includes CRTs generated under the Nitric
Acid Production protocol and California Air Resources Board (CARB)
Forestry, Ozone Depleting Substance and Agricultural Methane
protocols.

Anticipated to be the first protocol written entirely by ARB
through the public protocol development process, ClimeCo encourages
officials to approve and make effective the compliance offset
protocol for mine methane capture (MMC) projects as soon as
possible.

Sincerely,
ClimeCo Corporation
William E. Flederbach, Jr. 
President
