Greenhouse gases emission reductions an unusual commodity
• Different “qualities” of ERs depending on the credibility of the baseline scenario
• Players are interested in different “brands” depending on their objectives
Emission Reductions=
Hypothetical baseline emissions - Effective emissions

Sellers
• Key motivations:
– Gain additional revenue
– Strategic positioning to take advantage of future demand for ERs (e.g. Costa-Rica)
• However, at prices much below $3/tCO2e, carbon finance has too small an impact on projects’ IRRs (except maybe for some forestry activities).

Motivations of buyers• Regulations in place• Expect regulations on GHG
emissions in the future– Hedge against future costs– Influence future regulation– Learning– Strategic positioning
• “Green” factor– Hedge against risk of appearing bad– Differentiating products
Governments
Firms(large utilities,
energy cies, etc.)
Individuals

Quantities in past transactions
• Partial information available.• Within OECD and EITs: 40-60 MtCO2e have been
transacted.• In developing countries: Less activity but
growing. Mostly government funded, but private activity growing.
• General trend towards sophistication: buyers clubs (PCF), traders, financial derivatives (options), integrated marketplaces, etc.

How may the market look like in coming years?

Emerging market drivers
1. Regulations constraining GHG emissions are being developed:
– National policies (e.g. UK, The Netherlands)– Subnational regulations (e.g. some US States)– Regional initiatives (EU-wide trading)
2. Firms are increasingly taking action, in particular voluntary emission commitments
3. Parallel markets are emerging: e.g. carbon neutral certification.

The Netherlands
• Government funded Emission Reduction Unit Procurement Tender (ERU-PT) and Certified Emission Reduction Units Procurement Tender (CERUPT)
• Buy ERs in Eastern Europe (JI) and non-Annex B countries (CDM) respectively
• 2000 tender (completed): $19 M
• Average price for first tender: $7/tCO2e
• Second Tender ERUPT, First Tender CERUPT opened.

United Kingdom
• Climate Change Levy (April 2001)– Tax on energy use– Rebates in exchange for voluntary commitments– Benefits recycled in other corporate tax rebates
• Emission Trading (end of 2001)– On a voluntary basis for a limited range of
companies– Projects outside UK are considered for 2002.

Regional regulations US/Canada
• Oregon: CO2 emissions standard for new energy utilities. Price cap: $0.57/tCo2. Utilities can offset emissions using project based mechanisms.
• Washington: New plants must demonstrate the use of best available techniques for CO2 emissions control.
• Massachusetts: CO2 emissions cap for energy utilities effective in 2005. Utilities can offset excess emissions using project-based mechanisms.
• New-England + Eastern Canadian Provinces: -20% in 2020 compared to 1990.

14
Voluntary corporate commitments
• Rapid survey indicates 52 major companies representing 1 billion tCO2e emissions in 1999 have pledged to reduce GHG emissions by 2010.
• Resulting demand depends on the baseline. If we set baseline at 1999 emissions, we obtain a total demand of 500 MtCO2e over the next decade.
• At least eight have said they would use project based mechanisms.

In addition, Canada and Australia have voluntary ER programs with very good coverage of key emitting sectors.

Chicago Climate Exchange
• 42 entities (mostly firms + Chicago and Mexico city) will agree on emission targets by the end of 2001 and start trading in 2002.
• Objectives: -2% below 1998 level in 2002, additional -1% period year between 2003 and 2005.
• Allows for offsets through project-based mechanisms.

Emerging carbon fundsPrototype Carbon Fund +…
• About 5 private sector funds to capture JI/CDM Carbon credits in all investments.
• Handful of private equity funds also seeking carbon credit investors to raise IRR in deals.
• Major forestry funds thinking about C credits.
• New energy private equity and mutual funds might seek C credit deals if demand rises.
• Social funds use C as screening indicator.
![Page 19: Early carbon market 1996-2001](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813aff550346895da3990b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Market for “carbon neutral” products and services
• Increasingly, individuals and private or public organizations are looking for credible ways to offset the emissions their activities cause.
• Some firms provide this service – Future Forests, 550ppm or Klima – and buy ERs.
• Typically market for third-party verified ERs (but not necessarily Kyoto compatible)
![Page 20: Early carbon market 1996-2001](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813aff550346895da3990b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Conclusion• The carbon market already exists, and is growing
rapidly.
• With success in Bonn/Marrakesh, market for Kyoto compatible ERs (CDM, JI) and Emission Quotas (Trading) now likely to grow.
• However, demand for non-Kyoto ERs likely to remain strong because of US-based demand, climate neutral business activity and “green” motivation.

Volumes in Kyoto w/o the US
Gross annual demand for ERs 1400 – 2400 MtCO2ebetween 2008 and 2012
- Credits for hot air 950 – 2150
- Credits for Annex B Sinks 330 ( 200)
= Net demand 0 – 1800 MtCO2e

Carbon Market Impact
• Hot-air and new Annex I sinks allowances depress CDM/JI market
– W/o US, up to 100% of OECD needs may be met by hot air + sinks.
• Both CDM/JI “project-based” and “hot –air” (emissions trading) markets will be “policy-driven”
– Hot air may be cheap but politically unpalatable
– CDM/JI project-based more expensive and difficult but high quality and politically acceptable
![Page 27: Early carbon market 1996-2001](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813aff550346895da3990b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Prices in Post CoP6 World
• With full competition, our market analysis suggests:
– CDM trades from near zero up to $8/tCO2e
– Range of $1.50-4/tCO2e more likely in our view– PCF currently pays $3-4/tCO2e
• Non-KP Market drivers are significant: OECD domestic regimes and Corporate Voluntary market
