Methane offset projects activated on or after January 1, 1999 may be eligible for carbon credits. Where methane is collected and combusted (flared or burned off) offsets are issued at a rate of 21 metric tons of carbon dioxide per ton of methane. If the methane collection project also includes electricity generation or other renewable energy utilization, additional renewable energy offsets may be earned.

We welcome the opportunity to assist you in the marketing of your methane offsets, and enrollment will be tailored to your specific project. Please contact us at 701-952-2154 or carboncredit@ndfu.org.
