Crown corporation draws taxpayer group's ire as carbon credit sales plummet

Private companies bought fewer carbon credits to offset their greenhouse gas emissions in 2011-12 than in the previous year from the Pacific Carbon Trust, showing the province's carbon corporation is a failure, according to a taxpayers' group.

In 2010-11, the carbon trust sold 7,385 tonnes to private clients such as Helijet Inter-national, Coast Hotels and the Vancouver Aquarium. But that figure dropped to 2,167 tonnes in 2011-12 after the trust lost West Coast Air as a client.

At $25 per tonne of carbon, the sales to private clients net-ted the Crown corporation only a little more than $54,000. The cash from private clients is dwarfed by money the Pacific Carbon Trust collects from the B.C. public sector of $18.2 mil-lion for nearly 730,000 tonnes of carbon credits.
