    Summary

    LMS Generation's view on the role of carbon offsets in addressing climate change

    "LMS have been advocating the role of carbon offsets for nearly 10 years with the Company's first project and offset agreement signed in 2001. LMS believe that carbon offsets play an important role in controlling emissions and also provide a pathway for individual voluntary contributions to a global issue."

    [Q38]- Greenhouse FriendlyThe Greenhouse Friendly™ initiative operated between 2001 and 30 June 2010. It certified carbon neutral products and services and approved abatement credits for sale on the voluntary market. Applications for new abatement projects have closed. These were not considered eligible offsets under NCOS and could not be retired for the purpose of becoming carbon neutral under the NCOS from 1 July 2010. This situation may change in future as a result of reviews of the NCOS by DCCEE. VERsVerified Emission Reductions or Voluntary Emissions Reductions are tradable credits for greenhouse emission reduction activities generated to meet voluntary demand for carbon credits by organisations and individuals wanting to offset their own emissions. VERs can be generated from projects to which a range of circumstances might apply, including:
    - are either based in a country that has not ratified the Kyoto Protocol (e.g. USA) or does not have the infrastructure to support CDM project development;
    - have not yet been registered under the CDM;
    - fall outside the scope of the CDM;
    - are too small to warrant the costs of CDM approval;
    - are specifically developed for the voluntary market.

In order to compare emissions between the six Kyoto Protocol greenhouse gases they have been assigned a global warming potential (GWP) measured in carbon dioxide equivalents to reflect their influence on warming the atmosphere. GWP is a relative scale, where CO2 = 1. The other gases are given a number based on their effect on the atmosphere relative to CO2. For example, methane has a GWP of 21, meaning it has 21 times the amount of heating capacity of CO2. per year. 634,282 tonnes to date.
