This information is intended specifically for use by corporations, institutions and other commercial and non-profit entities considering large-volume (i.e., 1,000 metric tons or greater) purchases of verified carbon-equivalent emissions reductions (a.k.a., “carbon offsets” or “carbon credits”) via transactions to be initiated off-line. Such transactions may involve a one-time delivery of previously registered offsets and/or forward commitments for delivery of offsets associated with future emissions reductions, and will typically be subject to issuance of a purchase order or to the terms of a negotiated purchase and sale agreement.

Visitors to this page who wish to initiate a smaller-volume transaction on-line today using a credit card, PayPal or personal check can do so by clicking here.

Offset project type and ownership. All of the offsets offered through e-BlueHorizons^SM result from the capture and destruction of landfill methane, a greenhouse gas (”GHG”) with a global warming potential 21 times greater than that of carbon dioxide. The methane capture projects are owned and operated by wholly-owned subsidiaries of CommonWealth Resource Management Corporation (“CRMC”), a privately held domestic U.S. corporation that owns and operates the e-BlueHorizons websites. Neither e-BlueHorizons^SM nor CRMC act as re-sellers or brokers of offsets generated at projects owned by unaffiliated third-parties. Detailed descriptions of the projects can be found in the attached project design documents, referred to as “Monitoring, Reporting and Verification Protocols”.

• Greater New Bedford Landfill Gas Utilization Project (PDF,15.3k);
• North Country Landfill Gas Utilization Project (PDF,18k).

Offset Type and Quality. All transactions result in the transfer of property interests in (or alternately, the permanent retirement of) Verified Emission Reductions (“VERs”). Each VER represents one metric ton of CO2-equivalent (“CO2e”) emission reductions that have been independently verified to be real, quantifiable, permanent, and additional in accordance with the guidelines and criteria established by the Environmental Resources Trust, Inc. (“ERT”) for verification and subsequent registration on the American Carbon Registry, and by the Chicago Climate Exchange (“CCX”) for registration and sale as Carbon Financial Instruments via the CCX on-line trading platform. Of course, the projects and associated offsets have also met the rigorous criteria of the Environmental Defense Fund’s CarbonOffsetList.org program. Independent verification of all project emissions reductions claims is provided by First Environment, Inc., an ISO 14064-compliant verification services entity recognized and/or accredited by the American Carbon Registry, the CCX, the California Climate Action Registry, and the Voluntary Carbon Standard Association.

Available Quantities. Depending on the project and the year of generation (“vintage”), offsets may be available in quantities up to approximately 100,000 metric tons per year.

Commercial Terms. To review our standard terms and conditions for the sale and delivery of registered VERs, click here. Contracts for forward delivery commitments are generally negotiated based on these, or substantially similar terms. Prices vary by quantity and vintage.
