signscape design studio - Carbon credit trading 

we recommend  upcoming projects should focus with carbon credit trading which benefits the client and the environment.


The concept of carbon credit trading was developed as a result of the Kyoto Protocol ratification and seeks to encourage countries to reduce their GHG emissions.  It rewards those countries which meet their targets and provides financial incentives to other countries to do so as quickly as possible.  Surplus credits collected by countries exceeding their emission reduction target can be sold in the global market. 

One credit is equivalent to one tonne of CO2 emission reduced.  Carbon Credits (CC) are also created from project proponents or companies engaged in carbon sink projects such as forestation, or developing renewable energy products that offset the use of fossil fuels.  In countries where GHG is below the target fixed by the Kyoto Protocol norms they are entitled to collect and sell surplus credits to developed countries not meeting their reduction limits.

It is here that European Union Allowances (EUAs), Certified Emissions Reduction Units (CERs) and Emission Reduction Units (ERUs) trading takes place.  Companies or installations that cannot fulfill the new reduction target limits can buy the surplus or allocated credits from other companies, installations or project proponents through trading. 


 

Kyoto & Post-Kyoto Trading

Emission’s trading gives companies the flexibility to meet emission targets according to their own strategy, thus offering the most cost effective way for energy-intensive industries to meet their obligation to reduce emissions.  To implement the Kyoto Protocol, the European Union (EU) and other countries have set up “cap and trade” systems.  Under these systems, companies are obliged to match their greenhouse gas emissions with equal volumes of emission allowances.

The Government initially allocates a number of allowances to each company called European Union Allowances (EUAs).  Each EUA permits the holder to emit one tonne of CO2. Any company that exceeds its emissions beyond its allocated EUAs will either have to buy EUAs (in the form of carbon credits) or pay penalties in accordance with the Kyoto Protocol.  A company that emits less than expected can sell its surplus EUAs to those with shortfalls.  Companies or countries will buy these EUAs as long as the price is lower than the cost of achieving emission reductions by themselves.
