hey this is the basic definition to start with ok and wil give u ny case study if i come across
Carbon credits are a key component of national and international attempts to mitigate the growth in concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs). One Carbon Credit is equal to one ton of Carbon Dioxide or in some markets Carbon Dioxide equivalent gases. Carbon trading is an application of an emissions trading approach. Greenhouse gas emissions are capped and then markets are used to allocate the emissions among the group of regulated sources. The idea is to allow market mechanisms to drive industrial and commercial processes in the direction of low emissions or less "carbon intensive" approaches than are used when there is no cost to emitting carbon dioxide and other GHGs into the atmosphere. Since GHG mitigation projects generate credits, this approach can be used to finance carbon reduction schemes between trading partners and around the world.

There are also many companies that sell carbon credits to commercial and individual customers who are interested in lowering their carbon footprint on a voluntary basis. These carbon offsetters purchase the credits from an investment fund or a carbon development company that has aggregated the credits from individual projects. The quality of the credits is based in part on the validation process and sophistication of the fund or development company that acted as the sponsor to the carbon project. This is reflected in their price; voluntary units typically have less value than the units sold through the rigorously-validated Clean Development Mechanism[1].

There are two distinct types of Carbon Credits: Carbon Offset Credits (COC's) and Carbon Reduction Credits (CRC's). Carbon Offset Credits consist of clean forms of energy production, wind, solar, hydro and biofuels. Carbon Reduction Credits consists of the collection and storage of Carbon from our atmosphere through biosequestration (reforestation, forestation), ocean and soil collection and storage efforts. Both approaches are recognized as effective ways to reduce the Global Carbon Emissions "crises".


keep surfing on MP u'll get enuf information n wat so ever project u want bye see tc

hey didnt u check anant1a's posting he has already posted really good informationon it check this out
Global carbon credit markets have risen to $64 bn from $32 bn in 2007, according to a World Bank Report.

The market that enables companies to buy and sell the right to pollute doubled in value in 2007.

The market, which was created as a way to tackle climate change, enables firms to buy and sell permits to pollute by trading carbon emissions.

But while the carbon market has boomed, there are signs that this has not prompted big cuts in emissions.

For example, the value of carbon traded using mechanisms developed by the Kyoto Protocol more than doubled to $13.4bn last year, but the amount of actual carbon emissions only fell 7%.

Under the Kyoto Protocol, certain leading industrialised nations agreed to reduce their emissions, measured against 1990 levels.

One of the main ideas behind carbon trading is that polluters chose the easiest and most cost-effective way to reduce their emissions.

If, for example, a rich industrialised nation wants to keep polluting, it can gain emissions permits by paying a poorer nation to invest in clean technology and thereby reduce its pollution levels.

The largest single market for carbon was traded under the European Trading Scheme (ETS), in which certain polluting industries such as energy and cement firms face a limit on the emissions they can produce.

This market grew to $50bn in 2007, up from $24.4bn a year earlier. However, there has been a time-lag between the initial validation of the offsets and other carbon reduction schemes and their official approval, due to bureaucracy and delays, said the report.

The time lag between these two phases is approaching a year.

A Carbon credit is a generic term meaning that a value has been assigned to a reduction or offset of greenhouse gas emissions.Carbon credits and markets are key components of national and international attempts to mitigate the growth in concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs). One carbon credit is equal to one ton of carbon dioxide, or in some markets, carbon dioxide equivalent gases. Carbon trading is an application of an emissions trading approach. Greenhouse gas emissions are capped and then markets are used to allocate the emissions among the group of regulated sources. The goal is to allow market mechanisms to drive industrial and commercial processes in the direction of low emissions or less carbon intensive approaches than those used when there is no cost to emitting carbon dioxide and other GHGs into the atmosphere.
