| Eligible Project Size | All (MW) |
| Critical Information | Funding for all projects is provided by donations from private businesses, organizations, and individuals who wish to support quality, innovative Colorado-based projects which reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Offsets are purchased from selected projects and then retired by The Climate Trust on behalf of these donors to the Colorado Carbon Fund. |

| Additional Information | The Colorado Carbon Fund is interested in receiving a variety of innovative and viable proposals for emission reduction projects, but has a preference for: Anaerobic digestion projects Biomass projects Commercial solar hot water heater installations Energy efficiency projects with direct emissions reductions, such as cogeneration Transportation-related projects Project contract terms of less than 15 years Currently not considering any projects with emissions reductions related to reducing or displacing the use of grid-tied electricity. However, the Colorado Carbon Fund may seek additional project types in future years. Projects must: - reduce emissions of one or more of the six greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulphur hexafluoride). Project must reduce emissions at the site where they are implemented by reducing or displacing the use of fossil fuels. - reduce at least 40,000 metric tons of CO2-equivalents over the contract term. Similar project types can be aggregated to meet the size requirement. - not yet be implemented and will not be implemented until after an Emission Reduction Purchase Agreement is executed - reduce emissions through energy-related measures such as avoidance of methane emissions, switching to renewables, or making efficiency improvements. The Colorado Carbon Fund is not currently accepting sequestration project proposals. - Project developers must demonstrate that selling emission reductions to The Climate Trust somehow enables a project's implementation and that without the opportunity to sell the project's emission reductions the project would not occur. |
