Stimulating grassland conservation activites through greenhouse gas emissions markets
Climate Action Reserve     |     CA     |     2015
The purpose of this project is to build on its recently developed avoided conversion of grassland protocol. In partnership with Environmental Defense Fund, the Climate Trust and others, CAR will develop a streamlined approach to lower barriers to entry for landowners – resulting in an initial pilot project generating substantial carbon credits.
A Standardized Inventory Methodology and Analytical, and Reporting Tools Compatible with the Climate Action Reserve and California Air Resources Board forest protocols
Climate Action Reserve     |     CA     |     2015
The purpose of this project is to increase participation in carbon markets by small forest landowners, through development a standardized forestland carbon forestry methodology and automated computer application that will streamline and simplify the development and submission of forest carbon offset projects.
Standardized inventory methodology and analytical, and reporting tools
Bering Straits Native Corportation     |     AK     |     2015
The purpose of this project is to develop a geothermal resource able to sustain a greenhouse operation for fresh, local produce that can: lessen supply chain risks; pilot a market garden model to enhance the regional economy; provide better food security in rural Alaska; and reduce the use of fossil fuels to provide for these rural communities.
Advancing sustainable farms through environmental markets
Electric Power Research Institute, Inc.     |     CA     |     2015
The purpose of this project is to develop and execute, for the first time, trades of “stacked” ecosystem services for water quality and greenhouse gas emissions reduction credits. EPRI administers the Ohio River Basin nutrient trading program – the only multi-state trading program in the country.
Establishment of a Mid-South Environmental Stewardship Marketing CO-OP
White River Regional Irrigation Water Distribution District     |     AR     |     2015
Project objectives (purpose and goals): We will form a Farmer Owned-Farmer Directed-Far Supported Environmental Stewardship CO-OP to promote resource conservation and sustainable agriculture methods in the Mid-South-with an initial focus on rice and methane reduction-through the creation and aggregation of carbon offsets, and the verification and certification of these conservation practices for sustainable branding or "green seal" opportunities, through the organization of a farmer-owned and operated resource conservation stewardship cooperative.
Biobased, dairy manure-derived fertilizers for use in raspberry and blueberry cropping system
Washington State University     |     WA     |     2015
The purpose of this project is to evaluate the agronomic, soil health and food safety efficacy of dairy manure derived fertilizers in raspberry and blueberry cropping systems.
A voided rangeland conservation; a carbon offset program in ND and SD
The Nature Conservancy     |     VA     |     2015
The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the potential of carbon markets as a viable financial instrument. TNC will enroll 50,000 acres of rangeland in North and South Dakota into a carbon offset program that offers permanent protection and the generation of approximately 750,000 tons of carbon offsets. These offsets will be sold on the voluntary market and net revenues will be used for additional conservation in the Prairie Pothole Region.
Transforming the Economy to Value our Climate: Launching the Working Lands Carbon Fund
Oregon Climate Trust     |     OR     |     2015
The Swinomish Forest Bank, a Pilot Effort to Incorporate Private Financing in Conservation and Climate Adaptation
Ecotrust     |     OR     |     2015
The purpose of this project is to develop a replicable system to leverage new and scalable revenue sources for forest conservation and carbon sequestration to help ensure more climate-resilient communities. The project is focused to achieve five goals, each with specific objectives that are listed below and will be achieved by the end of the project period.
Demonstration of a scalable nutrient management project to reduce nitrous oxide emissions and generate voluntary or compliance carbon credits
Environmental Defense Fund, Inc     |     NY     |     2015
The purpose of this project is to build on its strong relationships with United Suppliers, the Almond Board of California and farmer networks to create a large scale pilot generating the first aggregated nutrient management greenhouse gas credit project. This project will demonstrate how growers implementing enhanced nitrogen management processes on annual and perennial crops can participate in carbon markets. It sets the stage for significant reductions in nitrogen fertilizer pollution – a win for the environment and for growers’ bottom lines.
