- 818-10Overall818 Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations
ASC 818-10 is the Overall subtopic of the new Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations Topic (created by ASU 2026-02), which sets the accounting and reporting requirements for entities that acquire, internally generate, or receive environmental credits and for entities subject to regulatory compliance programs (e.g., cap-and-trade, renewable portfolio or fuel standards) that create environmental credit obligations. It applies to all environmental credits and environmental credit obligations, and items within its scope are excluded from derivatives accounting under Topic 815. The objective is to give investors useful information about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows from these transactions.
