Pacific Carbon Trust is a Crown corporation established in 2008 to deliver BC-based greenhouse gas offsets, to help clients meet their carbon reduction goals and to support the growth of BC’s low-carbon economy.

The BC government established Pacific Carbon Trust as part of an aggressive plan to address climate change. PCT provides an important tool in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, one that government and others can use once they have done all they reasonably can to reduce their emissions.

In addition to helping clients implement their carbon reduction strategies, PCT is providing BC businesses with new economic opportunities. The price attached to selling offsets can help make clean technology projects a reality, resulting in many economic and social benefits, in addition to the benefit of carbon reduction.
