Carbon credit

Rahul Jagtap PGDM 1st.


• Green house effect:-
• Carbon dioxide methane,
nitrogen oxide ,
chloroform carbon are
known as green house
gases.
• these green house gases
make a shield like layer
between the atmosphere
and the earth . this layer
work like a woollen
blanket. It absorbs the
heat of the sun. This layer
transparent. so the rays
of the sun pass through it
and reach the earth.
Ozone layer
Carbon credit

Carbon credits are a key component of national and international


attempts to mitigate the growth in concentrations of greenhouse gases
(GHGs). One Carbon Credit is equal to one ton of Carbon.
The concept of carbon credits came into existence as a result of
increasing awareness of the need for controlling emissions has observed
by The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).
The Beginning ...
1:-Dramatic loss of ozone in the lower
stratosphere over Antarctica was first noticed
in the 1970s by a research group from the
British Antarctic Survey (BAS).
Halley Bay station
Antarctica
2:-The RIO AGREEMENT in 1992.

3:- The KYOTO PROTOCOL in 1997 in Japan.

4:-Came into force in 2005 with carbon


trading norms.
Kyoto protocol
• Joint Implementation (JI) a developed country with relatively high
costs of domestic greenhouse reduction would set up a project in
another developed country.
• The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) a developed country can
'sponsor' a greenhouse gas reduction project in a developing country
where the cost of greenhouse gas reduction project activities is usually
much lower, but the atmospheric effect is globally equivalent. The
developed country would be given credits for meeting its emission
reduction targets, while the developing country would receive the
capital investment and clean technology beneficial change in land use.
• International Emissions Trading (IET) countries can trade in the
international carbon credit market to cover their shortfall in
allowances. Countries with surplus credits can sell them to countries
with capped emission commitments under the Kyoto Protocol.
Carbon Credit Trading

• Managing emissions is one of the fastest-growing


segments in financial services with a market now
worth about €30 billion, but which could grow to €1
trillion within a decade. Louis Redshaw, head of
environmental markets at Barclays Capital predicts
that "Carbon will be the world's biggest commodity
market, and it could become the world's biggest
market overall."
Key Players
• Bank of America is a leader in carbon-reduction
strategies. The bank recently launched a $20 billion, 10-
year initiative to finance emission-reduction projects,
invest in green technology, and facilitate carbon-credit
trading.
• BG is among the most well-known Company The
company assigned its 150 units an emissions quota and
allowed them to buy and sell carbon credits among
themselves.
• The European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS).
• The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX).
