Asset Description
- Development of the EMS Forest Project is being contemplated under either the American Carbon Registry (ACR) for voluntary carbon market uses or under Alberta’s Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction Regulation system targeting Albertan regulated emitters.
- Reforestation and the conservation of the boreal forest through improved forest management practices are creating carbon offsets through the combination of trees not being logged and their subsequent absorption of atmospheric CO2 through photosynthesis and sequestration of CO2 into their biomass.
- Anew Climate, North America’s largest developer and marketer of carbon credits, is undertaking Elizabeth Metis Settlement project development.
- The Elizabeth Metis Settlement Forest Carbon Project covers a forested area of 15,457 hectares and has the potential to sequester significant amounts of CO2 per year.
- The future financial benefits derived from the monetization of these carbon credits, net of expenses, will be split with the majority going to Elizabeth Metis Settlement and the remainder to Green Star Royalties.
