Agriculture has a great potential to be the single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions reductions to help solve the global warming problem. Within the agricultural industry, the swine industry is uniquely positioned to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as recognize revenue for doing so. Due to global warming and the Kyoto Protocol, large industrial emitters will need to comply with emission reduction limits allocated to them within their industrial sector. These emitters will have the option to purchase reductions in order to offset their own emissions that exceed their allocation. A standardized process is required to allow a swine producer to take financial advantage of the Canadian Domestic Carbon Trading System, without the liabilities associated with marketing within the system.
