Pacific Carbon Trust
The Pacific Carbon Trust is a provincial Crown corporation set up by the British Columbia government to acquire credible greenhouse gas (GHG) offsets on its behalf and helped government achieve its target of a carbon-neutral public sector by 2010.
Offsets represent emission reductions or removals through projects such as renewable energy generation, energy efficiency initiatives or tree planting.
Core government business travel has been carbon neutral since October 2007. In 2010, the commitment expanded to include the operations of provincial ministries, school districts, universities, colleges, health authorities, Crown corporations and other government agencies.
The Pacific Carbon Trust, acting on behalf of the Province, will only acquire offsets from projects that are located in B.C. and that meet provincial eligibility criteria as defined by the Offset Emissions Regulation.
Pacific Carbon Trust also acquires and retires offsets for individuals and B.C. businesses.
