About  [Edit]

The Climate Trust [The Trust] is a 501[c][3] non-profit start-up originally formed in 1997 as Oregon Climate Trust. Our mission is to promote climate change solutions by providing high quality greenhouse gas offset projects and advancing sound offset policy.



The Trust plays a key role in implementing Oregon`s innovative carbon dioxide standard, which in 1997 became the first legislation regulating greenhouse gases nationwide. The first priority of The Trust is to effectively implement power plant carbon dioxide offset projects resulting from the 1997 law. However, The Trust`s purposes also include promoting or undertaking projects to prevent or mitigate the emission of greenhouse gases from sources other than the construction of new energy facilities in Oregon. Another focus for The Trust is advancing sound offset policy by sharing our experiences as a leader in acquiring, developing, delivering, and managing cost-effective, innovative projects that reduce atmospheric greenhouse gas levels and provide significant related environmental and social benefits.

Hi Charles,

I have just a couple of suggestions for you, but if you find out more please post it here or in a discussion because I would like to learn more. The organization My Climate might have some info for you. Also check out the for-profit Chicago Climate Exchange at chicagoclimatex.com

I am advising a company which has an adaptive streetlighting technology, which when retrofitted to a lamp ,can program the light to varying light levels, based on activity levels. The energy savings are in the range of 40%.
I am exploring offset and carbon trading options. can you be of help here?
I will be in Portland to speak at the " Clusters" conference in October.
