ERC Credit
An ERC Credit, or Emissions Reduction Credit, is a unit of measurement used in carbon trading to represent a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. It is typically issued by a government or regulatory body as a result of an entity or organization taking actions to reduce their carbon footprint. These credits can be bought and sold on carbon markets as a way for companies and governments to meet their emissions reduction targets.
The value of ERC Credits can vary depending on the supply and demand for them, as well as the rules and regulations governing their use. It is important to note that specific legal definitions of ERC Credits may vary depending on the country, region, or regulatory framework in which they are used.
