Who can sell carbon credits?
Benefits of carbon credit sales can be distributed according to terms of the contract to landholders, including government agencies, land owners, lessors, or others with authorized land tenure. This distribution of revenue can be negotiated for each contract. For an example of how carbon contracts for soil management practices are implemented on the Chicago Climate Exchange, click here. Note that the “designated areas” are those for which the climate exchange judged that there are sufficient data to determine the relationship between land use and carbon storage (or loss).
