Further, it will provide an overview of the nature of contractual arrangements between carbon credit purchasers and landowners/operators, as well as other logistical and legal issues that often arise during this process. Finally, it will offer insight into current policy proposals such as tax credits and related matters could impact the industry moving forward.
