Community Carbon Cooperative “Bringing the Carbon Market to San Diego” © 2010 Dawn Parker-Waites and Ken Sobel

The World is Watching America…

America Is Watching California…

And Because of SB 375…

California is Watching San Diego…

And Our Children… Are Watching ALL of US!!

This is OUR time to Lead!

CCubed Will Be The First of its Kind In the World!

In The Next Decade… The Carbon Market is expected to triple to a $2.2 Trillion industry by 2020 Source: HSBC Analyst Report Sept 2010

What Is Cap and Trade?

An Economic Market Based Approach to reducing Green House Gases (GhGs) Regulatory body sets a cap on the amount of emissions one company can emit (Cap) No mandated technology or process, the market can decide how to comply by either using new technologies, or buying (Trading) credits from other companies that are under their cap or generating credits through offset projects.

What is CCubed??

CCubed Will Be Like Casting A Net Around the San Diego Region…

And Pooling Our Energy Efficiency and Generation Efforts As One Offset Project

Then Selling Our Carbon Credits On The Market!

Monetizing individuals, families, small business, organizational and municipality activities that because of their size would not be capitalized on in the carbon market.

Community Carbon Cooperative (San Diego C Cubed) Incubated by local non-profit organization Producer based Cooperative Develops Market, Partnerships, Municipality Relationships, Brings Community into Co-op Direct Revenue to Co-op from membership fees and % of profits from carbon sales to operate Disburse funds to Co-op members for their carbon commodities

What is a Cooperative? Member owned and operated Common types of coops: credit unions, food, energy, and agriculture coops People from all means, all walks of life, work together for common good For Profit Corporation Subchapter “T” Large growing Coop movement throughout world, in December UN passed resolution that 2012 International Year of Cooperatives

Carbon Instruments Renewable Energy Credit (RECs)-from generating renewable energy White tags -from energy efficiency measures Carbon Credits- farms, land-use, car purchases

Examples of Community Carbon Activities with Value Solar installations Solar hot water heaters Home weatherization Electric car purchase Riding transit Green roofs Landfill methane capture Building retrofits Planting trees

San Diego’s Footprint San Diego County emitted 34 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2006 – an 18% increase over 1990 levels In 2006, per-capita emissions for San Diego County were 12 metric tons In 2006, emissions from cars and light-duty trucks represented 46% of total greenhouse gas emissions By 2020, under a business-as-usual scenario, regional greenhouse gas emissions are expected to be 43 MMT CO2E, an increase of 9 MMT CO2E (26%) over 2006 levels and 14 MMT CO2E (48%) over 1990 levels. To meet AB 32 emissions reduction targets (1990 levels by 2020), San Diego County would have to reduce emissions by 14 MMT CO2E (33%) below projected business-.as-usual levels in Source-San Diego Greenhouse Gas Inventory-EPIC

Carbon Market-USA In 2008, voluntary carbon market doubled from $331 million to $705 million Over the counter price of carbon credits increased 20 percent to an average of $7.34 per ton US is the largest source of world carbon credits with 28 percent of volume US is the largest consumer of carbon credits with 39 percent of the demand. Source: Ecosystem Marketplace and New Carbon Finance, 2009

Evolving Carbon Market Strong US Appetite CCX trades 3,000 to 5,000 contracts per day 20% US utilities purchasing 11% Fortune 500 companies purchasing 17% Dow Jones Industrial companies buying carbon offsets

C Cubed will not only help reduce Climate Change…

BUT will help drive economic development in the region
