ACR at Winrock International

ACR at Winrock International is proud to be a launch partner with ICE for its new next-generation registry platform to bring best in class infrastructure to support the adoption of carbon credits as an asset class.? ? “The ICE registry platform is a leap forward for the technology infrastructure underpinning global carbon markets, providing powerful next-generation digital functionality to all registry users to enhance efficiency and market integration,” said?ACR?Executive Director Mary Grady.

???? Celebrating International Day of Forests 2025 ???? At ACR, we believe in scaling up forest conservation and improved land-use practices, and we support this through our Improved Forest Management (IFM), Active Conservation, and Afforestation-Reforestation work that increases on-site stocking levels beyond business-as-usual scenarios. Did you know that working forests can also be sources of food for people? From fruits, nuts & honey to edible plants & mushrooms, forests are nature's supermarkets, offering essential nutrients that sustain millions of people. This year on 21 March we celebrate #ForestDay with the theme 'Forests and foods'. ?? https://bit.ly/Forests2025

We are happy to see the National Indian Carbon Coalition bringing high-quality forest carbon projects to the market with the Blackfeet Nation and other Tribes.

?? IN THE NEWS ?? Have you seen this great article? How to Maximize a CO? Refrigeration Retrofit with Carbon Credits, by ACHR NEWS discusses how reducing refrigerant emissions isn’t just good for the planet — it’s a potent financial opportunity. "Keeping humans, and the food they consume, cool comes at a cost. The energy used to power cooling systems is surging, and the refrigerants they rely on are often some of the most potent greenhouse gases on the planet." "By transitioning to ecofriendly refrigeration systems — such as CO2 (R-744) — companies can turn sustainability into a financial advantage by generating and selling carbon credits."
