[USCC] In-vessel composting and Carbon Credits

[David Frischmon]

Composters,

 

I am interested in expanding the collection of food scraps and
non-recyclable paper for composting and I wonder if it is possible to earn
"Carbon Credits from in-vessel composting of food waste ?

 

I have read where farmers in MN and WA are receiving checks (Carbon Credits)
by capturing methane gas from manure using anaerobic digesters which
composts the manure into organic soil amendments.  Is this a similar process
to what in-vessel composting does with food waste and if so could "Carbon
Credits" be earned by composting food scraps ?

 

Please advise.
