ART Issues Worlds First Jurisdictional Forestry Carbon Credits to Guyana

Nieuws

The Architecture for REDD+ Transactions (ART) has issued the world’s first High-Forest, Low Deforestation (HFLD) credits to Guyana. Following completion of an independent validation and verification process and approval by the ART Board of Directors, ART has issued 33.47 million TREES credits to Guyana for the five-year period from 2016 to 2020. These serialized credits, listed on ART’s public registry, are available to buyers on theglobal carbon market, including for use by airlines for compliance with the International CivilAviation Organization’s global emission reduction program, CORSIA, as well as for usetoward voluntary corporate climate commitments . 
 
Among the first buyers of Guyana’s credits is the US-owned Hess Corporation which entereda deal with Guyana to purchase 37.5 million REDD+ jurisdictional carbon credits (currentand future issuances) worth $750 million. Hess is a major partner with ExxonMobil andCNOOC of China in Guyana’s offshore project, the “Stabroek Block”. It’s one of the world’slargest oil and gas discoveries near Suriname’s border. This shows that while the transaction is good news for the conservation and sustainable use of Guyana’s rainforest, the integrity of the transaction is questionable from the point of view of overall emission reduction.
