Climate Change

AWT can assist your facility in generating, quantifying or verifying carbon credits. Greenhouse Gas emission offsets can be created by collecting and destroying or utilizing biogas created from anaerobic treatment of animal manure, converting land to grassland, committing to no-till management of cropland, and managing rangeland using sustainable methods. Additional credits may be available for anaerobic digester projects where renewable energy is created in the form of electricity or pipeline quality gas.

AWT is experienced with a variety of GHG verification and offset protocols including those used by CCX, California Climate Action Registry, RGGI, Voluntary Carbon Standard, Gold Standard, and Green-e. We can assist with navigating the GHG market and quantifying carbon credits and creating project design documents in any of these markets. AWT has 3 Certified Greenhouse Gas Verifiers for CSA America, Inc.
