China Brazil Consulting can help your firm capatilize on emerging US Carbon Markets
| With increasing attention given to Global Warming by state and national policy makers, so called cap-and trade policies for carbon dioxide and equivalents are becoming increasingly more likely fixtures of the future regulatory environment. In some areas of the country, this future is already a reality; in December of 2005, seven Northeastern states signed a Memorandum of Understanding indicating their intention to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), the first binding carbon cap and trade scheme in the US, thereby pledging to stabilize carbon emissions from the energy sector at 121 million short tons between 2009 and 2015.
| | More states have joined the initiative since, with California likely to soon impose its own version of the RGGI to achieve its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2010 and to 1980 levels by 2050. At least four bills aiming to establish national cap-and trade programs have already been put to vote in congress. Even in the absence of national or regional policy, industry and municipal entities are participating in a voluntary emissions cap and trade scheme through the Chicago Climate Exchange. | | | | Though it is too early to tell exactly how such a plan would be implemented across the country, it is very likely that a cap and trade program for greenhouse gas emissions will be implemented in the not too distant future. Such a policy development, aside from benefiting the environment, will present significant opportunities for speculators and affected firms alike. China Brazil Consulting can help your firm capitalize on these opportunities. | |
