Highlands County Hosts First Carbon Credit [Scam] Workshop for Florida Agriculturalists

SEBRING, Fla. - (Business Wire) South Central Florida’s Highlands County hosted its first carbon credit workshop on May 28 to explore carbon credit opportunities in this agriculture-rich county and provide information about carbon sequestration, the capture and secure storage of carbon that would otherwise be emitted to or remain in the atmosphere. The event was sponsored by the Highlands County Cooperative Extension Office, a government entity administered by the University of Florida.

The “new currency for dealing with global warming,” a carbon credit is the equivalent of one metric ton of carbon dioxide. This form of trading encompasses prevention or reduction of carbon emissions produced by human activities from reaching the atmosphere and removal of carbon from atmosphere by various means and securing it (sequestration).

One carbon credit pilot program is being offered and managed by the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), a commodity exchange for greenhouse gases. Customer motivations for purchasing these credits include public relations/branding, corporate responsibility, the anticipation of regulation and investment/resale.

Corporations can reduce carbon emissions, either mandatorily or voluntarily or purchase carbon credits. These credits are today worth between $1.20 - $46.90 each.
