The Cap-and-Trade Regulation allows covered entities to use a limited number of ARB offset credits to fulfill up to 8% of their compliance obligation. Offset credits are tradable compliance instruments that represent verified GHG emission reductions or removal enhancements made in sectors and sources not covered by the Cap-and-Trade Program. The Board has adopted four Compliance Offset Protocols: Livestock Projects, Ozone Depleting Substances Projects, U.S. Forest Projects, and Urban Forest Projects. The release of the updated webpages, guidance document, and forms will assist participants in the Compliance Offset Program with complying with all regulatory requirements for issuance of ARB offset credits.
