Question

Are people in the state of MO eligible to sell carbon credits? If so, what counties? Thanks.?

Answer 1

Not really currently. The carbon credit system was never really designed for individuals, it was created for larger companies. There is also the problem which carbon trading system that you choose to use, because the Kyoto Treaty was a complete failure with only the U.K. and the Sweden meeting there goals.

Answer 2

There are currently only two major means by which carbon credits are exchanged:  the Chicago Climate Exchange (link 1) and the European Climate Exchange (link 2).

The Chicago Climate Exchange caters mainly to large-scale producers such as corporations and governmental bodies.  But you might be able to join as an 'Associate Member' as far as I can tell.  Because what they are doing is legally binding, you might have to be able to pay for some actual oversight and proof and whatnot.

The European one is... well... Eurpoean.  You're probably out of luck as far as they're concerned.

Hope that helps.  Check out the links for official info!

Answer 3

I live in Boone county in Mo, and I don't think I've ever read about our power plant ever doing that. Maybe KC or St Louis do it, but I do know that individuals can't do it. Wouldn't that be great though?
