About AgCert

AgCert International plc is listed on the London Stock Exchange. The Group was founded in 2002 to produce and sell reductions in greenhouse gas emissions (referred to as "Offsets") from agricultural sources on an industrial scale. These Offsets are intended to satisfy the requirements of the Kyoto Protocol and be capable of being traded on the newly established European cap and trade system, the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme ("EU-ETS").

AgCert has identified agriculture as one of the largest commercial opportunities for Offset production and expects to be a leading supplier of Offsets from this sector. Agriculture is responsible for around 20 per cent of the world's annual greenhouse gas emissions. Under the Kyoto Protocol, any reductions in greenhouse gas emissions derived from this sector qualify as CERs provided they are derived from projects that have been validated by a DOE and Registered by the UN Executive Board and are properly verified and certified according to the stringent requirements laid down by the UN.

The Group's strategy is to expand rapidly its Offset production and resultant sales capacity by commencing the modification of Animal Waste Management Systems ("AWMS") on farms where it has already entered into arrangements with farmers and by rolling out its turnkey AWMS modification methods both geographically and across additional livestock species beyond its current focus on swine through the entry into contracts with additional farms.
