Tender Details
In 2010 british columbia became the first government at the provincial, territorial or state level in north america to become carbon neutral in its corporate operations. Bc`s commitment applies to each of its public sector organizations (psos) including ministries, school districts, post-secondary institutions, crown corporations, health authorities, and agencies. To achieve carbon neutrality, psos measure their carbon emissions annually, take action to reduce those emissions as much as possible, offset any remaining emissions, and then publicly report on achievements.
the climate action secretariat (cas) is responsible for investing in and managing the province`s portfolio of bc-based offsets on behalf of the province. Through this request for offsets units (rfou), the province is seeking to purchase offset units from vendors in order to achieve the province`s annual carbon neutral government commitment in future years.
cas purchases greenhouse gas offset units pursuant to the greenhouse gas reduction targets act and the carbon neutral government regulation. The purchased offset units are issued and retired under the greenhouse gas industrial reporting and control act. Investments in bc-based offsets stimulate growth of bc`s carbon market and support strategic provincial environmental, economic and social goals through carbon reduction and clean energy.
to qualify to supply offset units, proposed projects must meet the requirements set out in the greenhouse gas industrial reporting and control act, the greenhouse gas emission control regulation, and be selected by the province in accordance with the process set out in this rfou, including without limitation the desirable offset project criteria as listed in attachment a.
this rfou replaces the province of british columbia`s previous request for emission offsets (rfeo) number rf15jh1q-113.
