WHAT IS CARBON CREDIT AND HOW ITS WORKS ?

What

• A permit which allows a country or org. To produce certain amount of carbon emission & which can be traded if the full allowance is not used

How

• If 100 tonnes CO2 were being emitted & it is reduced to 80 tonnes of CO2 you will get 20 carbon credits

why

• Credits are given for voluntary reduction of GHGs

• For shift to less carbon intensive fuel, process tech.

United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC )

• The Convention divides countries into two maingroups - Annex I & Non-Annex I Countries

• Annex I (developed countries) agreed to reducetheir GHGs by 5.2 % below 1990 levels in 1stcommitment period 2008 – 2012Carbon Credit is a BRAIN CHILD of Kyoto protocol

9KYOTO PROTOCOL (1997)• The Kyoto Protocol is only binding 'industrialized‘ or 'developed‘ countries. These are states listed in Annex 1 of the UNFCCC

• The protocol commits developed countries to specific targets for reducing their green house emissions

• Each country has a prescribed number of 'emission units' which make up the target emission

• The Kyoto Protocol provides mechanisms for countries to meet their emission targets

16Controversy over C• Companies holding carbon credits stare at 'real loss'Namrata Singh| TNN | Mar 11, 2014, 01.16 AM ISTMUMBAI: Indian companies, which had invested in clean development mechanism (CDM) projects under the Kyoto Protocol to claim carbon credits, now stand to face a "real loss" on unsold credits, as opposed to a notional loss, with prices falling below one euro. Industry estimates peg the notional loss at Rs 10,500 crore.

• Role of Agriculture is neglected in carbon sequestrationCarbon Trading: Action Or Distraction?By Brian O'Connell there are no any direct way to actually reduce carbon emission

conclusion• while many experts agree that putting a price on the cost of carbon is good, becauseCARBON CREDIT is enhancing green efforts to reduce carbon emission, but,• it is not actually reducing it , it is only monetary tool to built supportive investment in renewable energy. •Ultimately developing countries like India, brazil got better chance to use this money to meet their increasing future energy demand with benefits of sustainable way.
