New Carbon Credit Database 22 October 09

WCD logoThe world's first database to index carbon offset credits and carbon reduction credits has been launched. The World Carbon Database (WCD), a non-profit open resource, is designed to promote the usage of carbon offsets and responsible ecological behavior.

Clients of founding partners, TerraPass, Bonneville Environmental Foundation and Native Energy are first to be listed in the WCD. Visitors to the WCD website can look up any individual or company and see if they have purchased carbon offsets.

WCD does not sell carbon offsets but uses data collection tools to archive customer and product data. Customer activity data will inspire others, support carbon management services decisions, policy makers, consumers and carbon trading operations.

WCD is partnering with Scripps Institution of Oceanography, a leader in climate change research, in offering educational programs customized to participants. Data will also become a source for academic research on carbon markets and global warming.
