Emissions Trading Schemes

Optimal performance in compliance regimes with Perspectives

As a compliance tool for the emission targets under the Kyoto Protocol, the EU has implemented an emissions trading scheme with binding greenhouse gas emission targets for large European emitters from 2005 onwards. In the light of the increasingly alarming evidence of climate change, several other countries and states have been or are currently setting up greenhouse gas emission trading schemes (e.g. Japan, Canada and Australia, as well as initiatives at the state-level of the US).

 

The introduction of an emissions trading scheme typically affects business operation directly and on a significant scale. The emission of greenhouse gases becomes a factor of production influencing the competitiveness of companies in the market - emitting more emissions than you have been allocated emission rights is financially punished.
