Developing offset projects in the cap-and-invest program
This training walks through the process, timeline, and requirements for developing an offset project in the cap-and-invest program. We discuss the four offset protocols adopted by Ecology, as well as the process to determine whether or not an offset project provides direct environmental benefits to Washington. Third-party verification requirements and the first steps to begin listing an offset project in the cap-and-invest program are also covered.

Please remember that offset project developers must have active accounts in the Compliance Instrument Tracking System Service (CITSS) in order to sell offset credits in the cap-and-invest marketplace. You can find all the information, trainings, and other resources needed to complete this process on our Auctions trainings and resources page.
