Bourse du carbone

La SADC des Laurentides, avec quatorze autres SADC du Québec, est fière de participer à ce projet pilote novateur permettant à dix entreprises de la région des Laurentides de réduire leur empreinte écologique tout en accédant à des revenus supplémentaires. Le but est de regrouper plusieurs petits efforts de réductions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) afin de les convertir en crédits de carbone pouvant être échangés et monnayés sur le marché volontaire. En investissant 20 000$, sur une période de trois ans, la SADC des Laurentides permettra la vente, par ses clients, de 85 000 tonnes de co²équivalent sur le marché volontaire la bourse du carbone.
