  • The carbon market is result of regulatory efforts to mitigate climate change.
  • Regulation constraining carbon emissions has spawned an emerging carbon market that was valued at US$64 billion (€47 billion) in 2007 according to World Bank
  • Project-based markets:
    In 2007, buyers also continued to show a strong appetite for primary project-based emission
    reductions, reflected by continued growth in the project pipeline showing that 68 countries had identified and offered to reduce 2,500 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) through over 3,000 projects. This potential supply received strong interest, mainly from private sector buyers and investors, who in 2007 transacted 634 MtCO2e from primary project-based transactions (up 8% from 2006) for a corresponding value of US$8.2 billion (€6.0 billion), up 34% from 2006.
  • Compliance-driven market
    CDM accounted for the vast majority of project-based transactions (at 87% of volumes and 91% of values) and JI saw transacted volumes doubling and values tripling in 2007 over the previous year.
    The CDM alone saw primary transactions worth US$7.4 billion (€5.4 billion), with demand coming mainly from private sector entities in the EU, but also from EU governments and Japan. The voluntary markets, supporting activities to reduce emissions not mandated by policymakers, also saw transacted volumes doubling to 42 MtCO2e and value tripling to US$265 million in 2007. There were reports of growing demand for voluntary “pre-compliance” credits for U.S.-based forestry projects under the California Climate Action Registry
  • The International Energy Agency projects that India will become the third-largest emitter by 2015
  • Fossils fuels are responsible for
    83 percent of India’s carbon dioxide emissions; coal alone accounts for 51 percent.
  • The Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007–12) commits the country to reducing energy intensity per unit of GHG by 20 percent
    in the period 2007 to 2017
  • Within a few years, the U.S. could have the largest carbon market in the world, with as much as $1 trillion in annual
    turnover.
