The Ministry of Forests and Range received numerous responses to the draft BC Forest Offset Protocol that was issued in late June. The ministry is in the process of reviewing the draft in light of public input received. The forestry offset RFQ or RFP requires the companion protocol; we are awaiting those results before proceeding with the RFQ or RFP.

The Pacific Carbon Trust (PCT) is requesting information from interested parties for the supply of eligible forest greenhouse gas (GHG) offsets. This Request for Information (RFI) is intended to gather information that may assist PCT in the development of a future forest GHG offset procurement.
