    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 20 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."

    [Q33a]- Greenhouse FriendlyGreenhouse Friendly 'The Greenhouse Friendly™ initiative has been operating since 2001 to certify carbon neutral products and services and approve abatement credits for sale on the voluntary market, including to Greenhouse Friendly™ certified product and service providers. Introduction of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (the Scheme) has implications for Greenhouse Friendly™. The Scheme will have broad sectoral coverage, which means there will be less scope to pursue offset activities with offsets limited to emissions sources uncovered by the Scheme. This means the Scheme will impact on the types of abatement that can be provided, because abatement in sectors covered by the Scheme will no longer be additional to “business as usual”. For these reasons Greenhouse Friendly™ will wind up on 1 July 2010. Greenhouse Friendly™ certification of carbon neutral products and services will continue to operate until 1 July 2010. Applications for new abatement projects have closed. Abatement may be generated by current Greenhouse Friendly™ abatement providers up to 1 July 2010, and may still be sold and purchased after that date.
    How does your organisation calculate the amount and price of carbon offset required by customers?
    [Q10]- Personal contact from clients with specific needs for type of offset and tonnage
    Do you provide quality assurance or technical documentation on your web site or on request?
    [Q16]Information not provided
    Is your organisation audited by an independent third party for the sale and retirement of offsets and / or RECs?
    [Q16b] No
    Does your organisation supply National Carbon Offset Standard (NCOS) or NCOS compliant abatement to customers from 1st July 2010?
    [Q18] No
    [Q19]
    What evidence of purchase can customers expect to receive when buying carbon offsets from your organisation?
    - Certificate for amount of offset purchased
    - Independent certification and / or third party documentation in relation to the project
    - Certificate of Transfer/Ownership
    - Serial numbers to identify offset units purchased
    - Tax Invoice
    What documentation is available to customers about the carbon offset project/s as part of the education and quality assurance process?
    [Q22]- We provide our customers with a letter from the Department of Climate Change which details the amount of offsets that have been approved from a specific project and the serial numbers for the offsets.

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.
