What are carbon credits? Do I qualify?
The European Union’s 25-member states established a public carbon-trading market in January 2005 offering financial incentives to those industrial energy companies that use bioenergy. Large and small carbon credit-style incentive programs are in place or being developed in other countries as most of the world’s major economies are committed to reducing greenhouse gas carbon emissions to meet sustainable energy and Kyoto protocol commitments. You may qualify for financial incentives: check with your regional government energy department.
