The U.S. Senate recently passed the bipartisan Growing Climate Solutions Act (Act) by a 92-8 vote to help American farmers, ranchers and private forest owners adopt, and ultimately profit from, activities that reduce or sequester greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Among its key provisions, the Act directs the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to establish a Greenhouse Gas Technical Assistance Provider and Third-Party Verifier Certification Program (USDA Certification Program) to “provide transparency, legitimacy, and informal endorsement of third-party verifiers and technical service providers that help private landowners generate carbon credits through a variety of agriculture and forestry related practices.” The Act now moves to the House where its companion legislation similarly enjoys bipartisan support but no clear timeline for a floor vote.
