DNDC and ARB Rice Compliance Offset Protocol

In 2013, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) began the development of a new Compliance Offset Protocol for Rice Cultivation.  This is the first agriculture land based offset protocol to be considered under the ARB compliance program.  Rice producers can play a key role in helping California meet the emissions reduction goals required by Assembly Bill 32 through a reduction in methane emissions.  Offsets are a crucial part of the cap-and-trade program in AB 32 because they provide compliance entities with less costly way to satisfy their cap.
