Subject: Price of Carbon is about to Double...


Colorado and Oz

There are two prices you might face for your carbon sales: into a regulated market involving USDA or across a volunteer market.

Some industry will require moving on incentives to get more carbon efficient as well as a strong signal of what a cost of carbon might be in the future.

And that signal is being prepared.  

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2021/02/26/biden-cost-climate-change/ 
President Biden on Friday dramatically altered the way the U.S. government calculates the real-world cost of climate change, a move that could reshape a range of consequential decisions, from whether to allow new coal leasing on federal land to what sort of steel is used in taxpayer-funded infrastructure projects.

 

The administration plans to boost the figure it will use to assess the damage that greenhouse gas pollution inflicts on society to $51 per ton of carbon dioxide — a rate more than seven times higher than that used by former president Donald Trump’s administration. But the number, known as the “social cost of carbon,” could reach as high as $125 per ton once the administration conducts a more thorough analysis.
