You might call it hitting the reset button on carbon offsets. On Tuesday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and other Biden administration officials released guidelines for the voluntary carbon market. Treasury's principals aim to mend a market that has great potential to steer money into carbon cuts but has so far fallen short of real climate action.'We want this market to succeed,' Yellen said at an event Tuesday in Washington, D.C.
'We know this market can do better.'The lack of standards on carbon reduction verification has hindered the flow of money into sound agricultural practices, one farmer said at the event. Scott Henry is a partner at LongView Farms in Iowa and took part in a panel discussion following Yellen's announcement, where he said farmers are leery of getting caught up in accusations of greenwashing.
