PRESENTATION OF CARBONIUMProducts and Services
Global carbon market: key numbers &
background
Carbon Finance in 2009, a market of more than:
• 95 billion Euros,
• 8.4 billion tons of CO2-equivalent.
The Kyoto Protocol: OECD countries with commitments under the Kyoto Protocol to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions (by an average 5.2 % below their 1990 levels by 2012) must meet their targets primarily through national measures. As an additional means of meeting these targets, the Kyoto Protocol introduced three market-based mechanisms, thereby creating what is now known as the “carbon market.”
The Kyoto mechanisms
• Emissions Trading: Committed countries can trade their Assigned Amount Units (AAUs) or other units
• Two project-based mechanisms which feed the carbon market :
– Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), generating Certified Emission Reductions (CERs),
– Joint Implementation (JI), generating Emission Reductions Units (ERUs),
• Stimulate sustainable development through technology transfer and investment,
• Help countries with Kyoto commitments to meet their targets by reducing emissions or removing carbon from the atmosphere in other countries in a cost-effective way,
• Encourage the private sector and developing countries to contribute to emission reduction efforts.
Carbonium : a pioneer actor in the carbon market
• Thanks to his experiences at the World Bank and the United Nations, AlexandreBorde founded Carbonium in 2004, in order to develop independent carbonfinance expertise in France
• The activity turns recurrent, with a strong positioning in the primary market (CDM/JI),by sourcing investment opportunities to trigger important technological andfinancial transfers from North to South. Focus is on small-scale hydro and solar
• Carbonium opens a subsidiary in Bolivia in early 2009, in addition to the teamsalready in the representative offices in Vietnam and Burkina Faso.
• The development of the company follows an increasingly fast rate thanks to newlarge scale projects in Morocco, Ukraine, not to mention its activities alreadyimplemented in Sub-Saharan Africa, Vietnam and Bolivia.
• In 2010, Carbonium launches two new activities in the secondary carbon marketand green products. Also, a representative office opens in Beijing, China.
