THE PLAINS, Va., Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --

WHAT
Chandler Van Voorhis, co-founder and managing partner at GreenTrees, will speak alongside Lauren Nichols, vice president of the Environmental Resources Trust (ERT) and managing director of ACR as well as Gordon Bennett, managing director, utility markets of ICE at an upcoming webinar titled, "Understanding Nature-Based Carbon Removal Projects with ACR."

ICE operates the world's most liquid environmental futures markets and is working to launch carbon credit auctions with GreenTrees. Ahead of this, ICE is bringing together a panel of industry experts to examine ACR's approach to issuing and verifying nature-based carbon credits and the value carbon credit auctions deliver.

ICE plans to host two auctions of GreenTrees' nature-based carbon removal credits. Each auction will offer 250,000 Emission Reduction Tons (ERTs) from GreenTrees' reforestation projects, with each ERT representing the removal from the atmosphere of the equivalent of one metric ton of carbon dioxide. The ERTs offered for sale by GreenTrees are issued by ACR, the world's first private voluntary greenhouse gas registry. Founded in 1996 by the Environmental Resources Trust (ERT), ACR is a leading authenticator in the international carbon market with more than 25 years of experience with carbon offset registration, standards and verification.
