Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative

The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is the first mandatory, market-based effort in the United States to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Ten Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states have capped and will reduce CO₂ emissions from the power sector 10% by 2018.

States sell nearly all emission allowances through auctions and invest proceeds in consumer benefits: energy efficiency, renewable energy, and other clean energy technologies. RGGI is spurring innovation in the clean energy economy and creating green jobs in each state.

TÜV SÜD America can assist you with carbon offset project validation or verification services under RGGI. 

Our capabilities include:

• Landfill Methane Capture and Destruction


• Reduction in Emissions of Sulfur Hexaflouride (SF₆)


• Reduction / avoidance of CO₂ emissions from natural gas, oil, or propane end-use combustion due to end-use energy efficiency


• Avoided methane emissions from agricultural manure management operations
