NZ Tree Grower – May 2017
- The Emissions Trading Scheme managed under the Climate Change Response Act has been operational in New Zealand since the start of 2008. In that time we have seen policy interpretation shift from ‘saving the world’ to ‘saving money’ and back to ‘saving the world’ under different political managers and changing international landscapes.

Read MoreIn the ETS, is safe carbon really that safe?
NZ Tree Grower – November 2016
- Many tree growers may have a vague notion that their carbon liabilities at harvest will in fact be less than the total amount of carbon they have claimed in their emissions returns up to harvest. The Ministry for Primary Industries provide residual carbon tables to calculate the carbon left in the branches and roots which stay on site after harvest. Residual carbon is, in effect, a delayed surrender of the carbon remaining on site.
