DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/68406c/carbon_market_anal) has announced the addition of GlobalData’s new report “Carbon Market Analysis – Q3 2010″ to their offering.
Carbon Market Analysis – August 2010
Summary
This report includes carbon market developments globally. There are four articles covered in detail:
* 1. Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative – The Potential Solution for the US Carbon Market
* Rapid growth in economic activity has had a negative impact on the fragile ecosystem. Carbon emissions have impacted the environment and global warming is one of the key manifestations of this.. In order to prevent global warming by controlling carbon emissions, politicians across the globe are implementing various measures. The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is one of the initiatives pioneered by the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states in the US. This initiative has yielded favorable results in terms of reducing the carbon emissions in the ratified states. The success of RGGI has also triggered the debate to replicate a similar scheme at the federal level.
* 2. New Zealand Climate Change Response Amendment of 2009
* The New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) was legislated in September 2008 under the Climate Change Response Act (2002). This law, amended in November 2009, became the first mandatory emissions trading scheme outside Europe. The liquidity in the New Zealand emissions market increased in June with the trading of around 1.5 million NZUs as companies responded to the inclusion of three new sectors in the trading scheme. Due to this, the supply is expected to increase in the second half of 2010. The fixed price of the emissions unit and limited supply initially would not create much market movement at first within the NZ ETS. It is expected that participants can prioritize buying the NZUs at a fixed price of NZ$25 from the government rather than buying spot permits presently being traded at around NZ$18 NZ$18.50.
* 3. Kyoto Carbon Market Balance: Demand and Supply Scenario, 20082012
* The economic downturn in 2008 caused a decline in investments in the carbon sector. In addition, the two international climate change talks in Copenhagen and Bonn were not able to produce concrete results favoring the global carbon market. Against this backdrop, the players in this market have become much more conservative.
* 4. Moving Towards Zero – Sony’s Perspective
* Sony Corporation announced its Road to Zero global environmental plan. The plan includes a long-term goal of achieving a zero environmental footprint by 2050. The mid-targets will be implemented globally across the Sony Group beginning in the fiscal year 2011 (April 2011), and will extend through to the end of the fiscal year 2015 (March 2016), at which time new targets for the following five years will be set.
