Turn Carbon into Cash with Trimble Carbon Credits

Alberta farmers have the opportunity to do their part to help in the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by observing certain standards. These practices earn farmers 'carbon credits', which they can sell back to regulated industries to 'offset' their emissions. These practices go a long way toward achieving compliance with international environmental standards and—with the right paperwork and data support—they can also put extra cash in farmers' pockets.
There's never been a better time to take advantage of carbon offsets. The value of a carbon credit is $30 per metric tonne (or CO2e), effective January 1, 2019. This price represents a 50% increase over previous years and is expected to increase 66% by 2022!
