Why Assess GHG reductions? Commitment to reduce emissions and contribute to a low-carbon society Image:

Research Questions How effective is the Compost Cats program at reducing emissions due to organic waste? How can the Compost Cats better monitor their emission reductions? How can Compost Cats reliably inform business partners of their GHG reductions? Photo courtesy of Compost Cats

Methods Climate Action Reserve (CAR) Organic Waste Composting Protocol CAR Protocols are playing a part in the emerging California cap and trade system being developed by the Western Climate Initiative Developed and reviewed by industry experts, federal agencies, and environmental organizations.
