		<description><![CDATA[The creation of a national GHG management policy would provide some of the best opportunities for the corn grain industry. With a national cap on GHG emissions, and an agricultural offset program in place, there would be sufficient market buy-in and demand for the creation of soil carbon sequestration and N2O reduction protocols. Effective and creditable methods would lower the carbon emissions from feedstock production and provide significant environmental co-benefits. Methodologies exist for these project types, however, until market-demand and carbon prices are high enough to cover the costs of these crop management practices, it will be difficult for them to gain wide acceptance.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=agrefresh.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8602541&amp;post=209&amp;subd=agrefresh&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pyrolysis is a form of controlled combustion of biomass.  It yields bioenergy in the form of bio-oil.  It also yields a soil amendment coproduct, biochar, with remarkable carbon sequestration properties of indefinitely long duration.  In other words, this is a bioenergy pathway which utilizes biomass in a manner which not only produces energy, but simultaneously produces the coproduct biochar which enhances soil quality and agricultural yields. Moreover, this pathway concurrently sequesters large quantities of carbon in a manner expected to earn valuable carbon offset credits.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=agrefresh.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8602541&amp;post=170&amp;subd=agrefresh&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[February 28th, 2010 marks the last day that existing dairy and swine livestock anaerobic digestion (AD) projects are eligible to sign up for participation in the Climate Action Reserve (CAR) carbon offset program.  After this date, only new projects and those transferring from another offset program (e.g. the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS), will be eligible to participate in the Reserve program to sell CAR registered offsets.  Currently the Reserve is far and away the best option for farms seeking to make money selling offsets from their AD projects. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=agrefresh.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8602541&amp;post=163&amp;subd=agrefresh&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
