    Summary

    Low Energy Supplies & Services (LESS) Pty Ltd's view on the role of carbon offsets in addressing climate change

    "Carbon Offsets are a useful tool to assist individuals and organisations in becoming carbon neutralA voluntary mechanism where an activity, event, household, business or organisation is responsible for no net emissions of greenhouse gasesGreenhouse Gases in the earth's atmosphere absorb and re-emit infrared radiation. The Kyoto Protocol lists six major greenhouse gases, which vary in their relative warming effect. The six gases are: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons), PFCs (perfluorocarbons) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). and can therefore be declared carbon neutral in that specific area. Carbon neutrality can be achieved by reducing emissions as far as possible (e.g. energy efficiencyEnergy efficiency improvements refer to a reduction in the energy used for a given service (heating, lighting, etc.) or level of activity. Such savings are generally achieved by substituting technologically more advanced equipment to produce the same level of end-use services (e.g. lighting, heating, motor drive) with less electricity. , purchasing renewable energy) and then purchasing offsets for any residual emissions in order to achieve zero net emissions. and meeting internal targets or regulatory requirements, and help reduce the impacts of dangerous climate change.

    LESS works along the following hierarchy for a robust offsetting strategy:
    Stage 1: Focus on direct emissions reductions though energy efficiencyEnergy efficiency improvements refer to a reduction in the energy used for a given service (heating, lighting, etc.) or level of activity. Such savings are generally achieved by substituting technologically more advanced equipment to produce the same level of end-use services (e.g. lighting, heating, motor drive) with less electricity. measures
    Stage 2: Look at opportunities to reduce indirect emissions though supply chainA network of retailers, distributors, transporters, storage facilities, and suppliers that participate in the production, delivery, and sale of a product to the consumer. etc.
    Stage 3: Develop an offsetting strategy"

    Types of transactions in carbon credits offered
    [Q23b]- Spot tradesThe purchase or sale of abatement (e.g. carbon offsets) for immediate delivery. Spot trades are settled "on the spot" (usually within one or two business days), as opposed to at a set date in the future. Futures transactions that expire in the current month are also considered spot trades. Spot trades are also known as "cash trades". Spot trades are the opposite of forward contracts.
    - ForwardsThe buyer invests the money upfront but does not get the credits until they are actually produced. These are long-term commitments that are predominantly done on a large scale. (Over The Counter)
