The Climate Action Reserve is excited to announce it is kicking off the development of the China Adipic Acid Production Protocol by incentivizing the installation of N2O abatement technology at adipic acid production facilities in China. Carbon offset credits issued under this protocol will financially support and incentivize the destruction of N2O rather than it being passively vented to the atmosphere.
The Climate Action Reserve is the most trusted, efficient, and experienced offset registry for global carbon markets. A pioneer in carbon accounting, the Reserve promotes and fosters the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through credible market-based policies and solutions. As a high-quality offset registry for voluntary carbon markets, it establishes rigorous standards and issues carbon credits under those standards. The Reserve also supports compliance carbon markets and serves as an approved Offset Project Registry for the State of California’s Cap-and-Trade Program. The Reserve is an environmental nonprofit organization headquartered in Los Angeles, California with satellite offices around the world.
The China Adipic Acid Production Protocol, as with all Reserve protocols, will go through a transparent stakeholder driven protocol development process, comprised of expert technical workgroup drafting, ongoing public consultation, and a review of the protocol by the Reserve Board of Directors for adoption. The Reserve strongly encourages industry experts and participants, as well as local community stakeholders, to become involved in the protocol development process.

气候行动组织很高兴地宣布,它将通过鼓励在中国的己二酸生产企业运用先进的N2O减排技术达到高效的减排目标来启动中国己二酸的碳减排方法学的制定。 基于该方法学认证发行的碳抵消信用可给减排项目提供财政上的支持,因此将积极促进中国目前大量排放的N2O被销毁。
气候行动组织是全球碳市场最值得信赖、最高效、最有经验的抵消注册机构。 作为碳核算的先驱,储备通过可靠的基于市场的政策和解决方案促进温室气体 (GHG) 排放的减少。 作为自愿碳市场的高质量抵消注册机构,它建立了严格的标准并根据这些标准颁发碳信用额度。 该注册机构还支持合规碳市场,并作为加利福尼亚州限额与交易计划的经批准的抵消项目登记处。CAR是一个环境非营利组织,总部位于加利福尼亚州洛杉矶,在世界各地设有办事处。
与所有 CAR的方法学一样,中国己二酸碳减排方法学将经历一个透明的利益相关者驱动的方法学开发过程,包括专家技术工作组起草、持续的公众咨询以及 CAR 董事会对方法学的审查直至批复。 CAR强烈鼓励行业专家以及所有利益相关者参与方法学制定过程。 有兴趣的人士可以联系 [email protected] 了解更多信息。
“With these strategic alliances, MiAMBIENTE strengthens the capacities of the technical team that designs, implements and communicates national and international investment opportunities and project generation under the National Carbon Market,” said the National Director of Climate Change of the Ministry of Environment of Panama, Ligia Castro de Doens.
Through the strategic collaboration, MiAMBIENTE and the Reserve will partner on two initiatives. One is the development of a forest protocol specifically for forests and local communities in Panama that will be supported by the government for use in the country’s voluntary carbon market. The protocol will be modeled off the Reserve’s Mexico Forest Protocol, which currently is being used by roughly 200 ejidos and local communities and has generated social, economic and environmental benefits for those communities. The strong engagement from communities and local and national trust in the Reserve program are key components in the success and growth of projects developed under the Mexico Forest Protocol, which the Reserve and MiAMBIENTE hope to replicate by partnering together in creating a forest protocol for Panama.
The second strategic initiative will take place under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by MiAMBIENTE and the Reserve. Under this partnership, the two will work together to develop Panama’s National Carbon Market. Reserve staff members will train members of the Ministry of Environment’s technical team on the organization’s program and specific protocols to be used in the National Greenhouse Gas Compensation System of Panama.
“It is a tremendous honor to be selected for such an important collaboration with MiAMBIENTE. Panama is strategically building the foundation for a strong National Carbon Market that will support the country’s local communities and also the country’s climate change goals. The work and success the Climate Action Reserve has experienced from its partnerships in Mexico were key to Panama choosing to work with us, and we are excited to work jointly with their team to achieve similar successes there,” said Craig Ebert, President of the Climate Action Reserve.
