Greenhouse Gas Reduction Advisory Group
Shortly after signing the Accord, the six
governors and premier assembled a diverse group of leaders from
business, labor, agriculture, energy, environmental advocacy
groups, and academia to an Advisory Group that is developing
program design recommendations for governors and premiers
representing the signatory jurisdictions.
The group was tasked with creating a
cap-and-trade program that maximizes Midwestern strengths such
as:
-
Emerging
biofuels and renewable electricity industries;
-
Vast coal reserves, and
experience with advanced coal technologies and CO2 capture
and storage, and significant underground formations for
long-term carbon storage;
- North America’s industrial base with
manufacturing capacity and know-how that can be tapped for
creating new “green jobs” in a carbon-constrained world; and
- Strong agriculture and forestry resources
and industries that can offer carbon offsets through
improved soil and forestry management practices.
The Advisory Group currently includes six
subgroups on model rule, scope; target setting, data and
reporting; modeling; allowances and offsets.
