How to purchase carbon credits, Part 1. We will walk you through the “nuts and bolts” of purchasing carbon credits.

Carbon neutrality is the idea of reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by creating a balance between the amount of gas emitted into and absorbed from the earth’s atmosphere. Creating this balance is part of a larger push toward less fossil fuel consumption in the future. Carbon neutrality centers on the desire to lower emissions released through fuel consumption. The main emission targeted today is carbon.
Carbon neutrality – a push toward less fuel consumption.
All fossil fuels – oil, coal, natural gas and more – contain carbon. Burning or otherwise consuming these fuels releases carbon into our atmosphere. This release of carbon is said to degrade the earth and its environment.
Whether you agree or disagree with the view that carbon emissions are dangerous, the premise that they are harmful drives a major portion of the current climate change agenda.
California has been a leader in the move to reduce carbon emissions. The state uses a Carbon Intensity (CI) factor to evaluate the amount of carbon emissions a fuel produces.
They assign each fossil fuel and energy source some type of CI value. The end goal for this value is like scoring in golf – those in charge want the lowest CI score to win.
An example of how this scoring could work is comparing traditionally created propane, with a CI score in the 78-80 range, to gasoline, which has a score of 90-100. Propane has a lower score than gasoline, which is good. However, those in charge want very, very low scores – scores that are 50-70, or lower.
We will continue our series on carbon neutrality and its impact on your business on July 22. Please contact your Twin Feathers team for more information on smart solutions for navigating the shift to carbon neutrality.

We enjoy working with Twin Feathers. Great people who have helped our business!
Twin Feathers has taken the burden of the everyday supply logistics off our plate and allowed us to focus on our operations in the critical times of the year. They have educated our team along the way and helped us brainstorm options/risks that fit our business model. Twin Feathers has allowed the Tevis organization to explore opportunities within the supply and hedging arena that we would not have been exposed to without the relationship.
We experience less angst when making a futures purchase.
They not only taught us how to plan and diversify our supply, but also new ways to protect the price. They have been great at negotiating supply deals and putting plans in place to know we will be secure when the market is not. I am confident that if things get tight we will be in a better position than our competitors.
We can’t say enough about the high level of service the entire team provided us. We relied on them and they came through for us over and over. They are complete professionals and a pleasure to do business with.
It has been one of the best decisions that our company has ever made. The Twin Feathers team have looked after our interests since day one, and have executed the plan each year very well.
Twin Feathers has partnered with energy firms since 1998 to provide transparent, value-driven commodity market advisory services.
