North American Carbon Exchange
The North American Carbon Exchange NoCarbEx.com is a voluntary "carbon_credit" exchange. NoCarbEx purchases carbon credits from individuals and businesses planting trees to reduce greenhouse gases. The Exchange bundles the shares of carbon credits and resells them to help businesses offset their carbon footprint.

Lowering Greenhouse Gases
Rising world levels of CO2 (Greenhouse effect) from fossil fuel emissions is a major cause of global warming. It is widely accepted that global temperature is increasing because world levels of CO2 are rising. The majority of the CO2 is produced by human activity, specifically by the burning of fossil fuels in power plants, automobiles, and deforestation.

Lowering these CO2 levels is being addressed by two major approaches. Non-fossil fuel approaches include nuclear, wind, and solar. Removing CO2 from the atmosphere is possible by planting trees. Wood, almost half carbon, provides one of the most commercially viable approaches for sequestering massive amounts of carbon dioxide. The world marketplace has existed since 2004 for carbon sequestration. The largest US marketplace for voluntary carbon credits is the Chicago_Climate_Exchange.

Individual Participation in Carbon Credit Trading
The North American Carbon Exchange allows individuals to participate in the voluntary carbon markets by providing financial incentives for afforestation. The Exchange has its own methodology to measure and transparently verify that all carbon dioxide offsets are additional and permanent. The NoCarbEx methodology fully complies or exceeds the principles of all major global warming regulatory regimes (i.e., the Kyoto_treaty, the California Greenhouse Gas Initiative, and most of the draft US Federal Legislation). These principles are:

Additionality. From the perspective of global warming, offsets need to be additional and result in a net decrease of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In other words, the sequestration of greenhouse gases needs to happen in addition to what would happen in the absence of the intervention.

Leakage. It is important to ensure that the additional carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere is not emitted elsewhere as a result of the planting of new trees.

Permanence. The carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere by growing trees needs to become "permanently" sequestered. NoCarbEx participants commit to keep the trees planted for a minimum of 40 years and pay a penalty if the tree is removed before this time.

Verification. Every single tree registered with NoCarbEx has a technical data-sheet that is maintained by NoCarbEx showing the type of tree and its expected growth and carbon sequestration potential. All NoCarbEx trees are geo-referenced and can be found easily through Google or other mapping software.
