Under the new offset system, municipalities would be able to earn carbon credits for capturing methane instead of letting it escape into the atmosphere.
The federal government announced today that it s developing a greenhouse gas carbon offset program it says will help to generate new ideas to reduce emissions.
The Greenhouse Gas Offset System will allow municipalities, farmers, Indigenous communities, businesses and others to earn credits for projects that reduce carbon emissions or take them out of the atmosphere.
