[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 7424241, member: 42914"] This is definitely coming in a big way. Be very careful though. Check VERY carefully what you are signing up to. Early adopters may (will?) find that they have tied in to very low payment rates in return for strict contractual restrictions on what they can do with their land for the next 30+ years. I'm seeing carbon offsets trading at £30/t now despite all the players expecting to see £100+/t within a few years and the hi-tech air carbon capture and storage that politicians and Bill Gates think will save us currently costs around £1000/t! In my opinion we should all run a mile from the "reverse auction" model. If anything we should counter with a proper auction as in "I've got 3 miles of hedgerow and 2000 tonnes a year of spare C sequestration so bid me for it". The money paid should be high enough to make the buyers think seriously whether to offset or to actually change their model and stop doing the damaging activity instead. [/QUOTE]
