Capture your Landfill Gas and Sell it to Green Consumers: A Win-Win Scenario
Speaker:Erin Craig, TerraPass

Presentation Description:
Greenhouse gas emission reduction projects are a great way for landfill owners to help reduce global warming while adding an ongoing income stream. With the sales price of carbon credits at its highest point in many years, now is a great time to re-evaluate methane capture and destruction projects you might have considered out of reach.

This presentation will summarize the mechanics of developing and selling greenhouse gas emission reduction credits, and then delve into the benefits of the retail consumer marketplace as a sales channel for your credits. Green consumers seek ways to take personal responsibility for their climate impact, providing a uniquely positive means of earning carbon income without providing permission to pollute. Specific examples of landfills which are a great fit for consumers will be highlighted.

The New Role of Section 45 and Carbon Credit Monetization in the Development and Financing of Landfill Gas Projects
Speaker:R. Steven Lynch, TheCarbonAuction

Presentation Description:

This session will briefly review the history and current status of the US market for Carbon Credits, summarize procedures for maximizing their value to Landfill Owner/Operators, discuss recent examples of how carbon credits and Section 45 Production Tax Credits have been monitized, and discuss how these attributes can greatly facilitate the development and financing of landfill gas to energy projects.

The REC and Carbon Markets: Where and How should LFGE play?
Speaker:Nubia Perez, Element Markets

Presentation Description:

As the Carbon Markets emerge, LFG is an unique position to capitalize on revenue opportunities in the voluntary markets as well as the emerging compliance markets. Depending on the projects' specifications, developers can optimize around different protocols and financing structures, as well as leverage the convergence between RECs and Carbon. This presentation will provide a brief overview of the regulatory treatment for landfills under different markets, including the Chicago Climate Exchange, the Voluntary Carbon Standard, CA Climate Action Registry, and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, while specifically highlighting each protocols' treatment of Renewable Energy Credits. Participants will have the opportunity to ask project-specific questions.

The Role of Landfill Gas (LFG) in the US Voluntary Carbon Market
Speaker:Katie Dunn, Blue Source

Presentation Description:

This discussion will explore the basic requirements and the process for creating carbon offset credits from LFG following a quick overview of the state of the voluntary carbon market in the US and the various regional cap and trade initiatives and standards. With existing environmental regulations for landfills, such as NSPS, and varying regional legislation for emissions reductions, understanding how to create carbon credit value from LFG can be dizzying. This discussion aims to clarify how landfill owners and managers can identify eligible projects and maximize LFG value by creating carbon credits. We will look at an example landfill and see how carbon offset credits can enhance a landfill's economics and profits.
