Why ROG / VOC credits matter

ROG/VOC is the other ozone precursor, carrying offset obligations alongside NOx in nonattainment districts. Public price summaries group several organic-gas labels together. District definitions and certificate conditions determine whether a particular credit is suitable for a project.
