Say Bye Bye to Cheap Carbon Credits
Recent analysis by reveals most of the easy carbon credit projects are already being availed and chances are high that such low-price credits will diminish sharply in future. Afterwards, greater efforts and higher investments would have to be put in to gain carbon credits.
Up till now, most cheap credits have come mainly from elimination of two kinds of waste gases, and . These two gases have a greater impact on global warming as compared to carbon dioxide. Due to this larger scale of emissions reductions, low-investment projects have resulted in cheaper carbon credits. However, since , future projects would have to earn credits through renewable energy and energy efficiency. This may result in at least a fivefold increase in project costs, which would eventually raise the price of carbon.

NRG Texas LLC, a subsidiary of had come under fire for wanting to add a third plant to its Limestone Station near Houston. Initially, the Texas Clean Air Cities Coalition and the were planning to thwart its expansion plans. But now wherein the power generator will go ahead with the third unit and
Among other measures, NRG will offset or sequester fifty per cent of the additional unit’s carbon emissions; invest in solar energy project or energy-efficiency projects in Texas and reduce water usage at the new unit by sixty per cent.
Jim Marston of Environmental Defense Fund applauded NRG’s efforts, he said :
“Offsets, such as the projects that NRG has committed to invest in, are a low-cost way to get the large reductions in greenhouse gases that are necessary to prevent catastrophic impacts of global warming..”
