Abstract
Carbon emissions have been traded, albeit at minor levels, in the
over-the-counter (OTC) market since the 1990s. In recent years, significant
global governmental involvement in the stabilization of the concentration of
atmospheric greenhouse gases has facilitated tremendous growth in the market
for carbon emissions trading. The value of the carbon market has grown from
$727 million in 2004 to $118 billion in 2008.
In addition to the foundational regulatory organizations that have established
the framework of the market, and the pre-requisite buyers and sellers, the
magnitude and evolving complexity of the global carbon markets has attracted
numerous intermediaries, such as brokers, exchanges, aggregators, and
financiers, as well as other peripheral participants such as validation and
verification, information and analysis, legal, and consulting service
providers. Opportunities for market participants are expected to continue to
increase as the value of global carbon markets are forecast to grow by 68% per
year to $669 billion in 2013.
