Carbon Markets USA
Seize the business opportunities in the budding US carbon market
Globally, the carbon emissions market is booming, with the World Bank estimating its size at approximately $30 billion last year. A monumental shift in the political landscape in the United States has intensified discussion surrounding the future of its carbon market and the establishment of its own carbon cap and trade program. Will the United States finally take ownership of what could be the world’s largest carbon market? A recent Point Carbon survey found that 90% of US respondents predict that the US will introduce a federal mandatory cap-and-trade scheme by 2015. Carbon Markets USA will address how such a scheme will be introduced and how it will be linked to regional and global carbon programmes. What implications will the potential cap-and-trade legislation have on US negotiations in Copenhagen and the shape of the global carbon market post 2012?
Green Power’s 5th US Carbon Markets conference will take place this September in Washington DC. Previous editions have attracted over 600 participants to San Francisco, New York and DC. Carbon Markets USA will provide an excellent platform for industry players to learn about the latest market developments and do business with CER buyers.
Carbon Markets USA is part of the Carbon Markets Global Series which is now in its 5th year and has been attended by over 2400 sustainability professionals.
"This looks like it will be a fantastic event with some really interesting and timely discussions. The agenda looks very robust and well organized". Aleka Seville, First Climate
