An ag lawyer is raising concerns about what landowners are committing to in carbon credit contracts.
Peggy Kirk Hall, Director of Ohio State University Extension’s Agricultural & Resource Law Program, tells Brownfield the legality of the arrangements remains a bit unknown.
“If we’re going to try to make sure that this carbon sequestration is sustained over a long period of time, and some of them do have that in the agreement—it needs to be a permanent sequestration of the carbon, how do we enforce that and who’s responsible?” she questions.
