Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
The Department may award CO2
							 offset allowances to sponsors of CO2 emissions offset
							 projects that have reduced or avoided atmospheric loading of
							 CO2, CO2e or sequestered carbon
							 as demonstrated in accordance with the applicable provisions of §§
													145.391 -145.397 (relating to
							 CO2 emissions offset projects). The requirements of
							 §§
													145.391-145.397 seek to ensure that
							 CO2 offset allowances awarded represent
							 CO2 equivalent emission reductions or carbon
							 sequestration that are real, additional, verifiable, enforceable and permanent
							 within the framework of a standards-based approach. Subject to the relevant
							 compliance deduction limitations of §
													145.355(a)(3)
							 (relating to compliance), CO2 offset allowances may be
							 used by any CO2 budget source for compliance purposes.
