Greenhouse Gas Offset Policy Dialogue

EPRI´s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Offset Policy Dialogue informs key constituencies about experience to date with offset policies and provides a forum for participants, representing a wide variety of stakeholders and perspectives, to discuss important elements of possible future offset policies. As part of the Dialogue, EPRI sponsors a series of one-day workshops to explore and discuss key topics related to the design and implementation of domestic and international GHG emission offset programs.
