To assist large emitters in meeting emission reduction targets in a costeffective manner a domestic emissions trading system29 may be established. Emissions trading is based on the premise that some companies will be able to take action internally to reduce their emissions in a more cost-effective manner than other companies particularly in the short term. Companies that meet and then exceed their greenhouse gas emission reduction targets will have surplus emission allowances to sell. Some large companies may find it more cost-effective to purchase emission allowances than to undertake reductions themselves. In addition to their internal efforts and purchasing surplus allowances from other companies these companies also may be able to purchase emission reduction credits generated through an offset market. Offsets are project-based emission reductions or removals generated by agriculture and forestry operations. Landfill gas capture and flaring may also be included in offset markets.
