EU Sets Cap On Phase 3 ETS Allowances
The European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), which was launched on January 1, 2005, is the largest multinational trading scheme in the world. It caps the emissions of more than 11,500 energy-intensive installations, driving the bloc’s 27 nations towards complying with Kyoto Protocol targets. The EU Commission set the cap on emissions for Phase 3 of the scheme, which runs from 2013-2020, although it is not final. View full Report details »

Recession Requires Carbon Strategy Refresh
The 2008 credit crunch caused deep falls in business activity, energy demand and consequently carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. On March 25, 2010 the UK Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) announced that the UK’s CO2 equivalent emissions from the six greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol fell by 8.6% in 2009 compared to 2008 emissions. But what does this one-off fall in CO2 emissions mean for individuals responsible for carbon strategy? View full Report details »

The Energy Efficiency Imperative
Increasing oil and electricity prices, the hidden cost of carbon, growing risks from energy supply disruption and board-level climate change compliance issues make energy efficiency a new imperative for the CFO. Verdantix analysis of energy and carbon trends indicates that finance executives need a multi-year energy efficiency plan to maximise cost savings, help the CEO meet carbon reduction goals and make financial decisions based on total cost of ownership.

What Copenhagen Delay Means For Business
On November 15, 2009 US President Barack Obama put the final nail in the coffin of the UN climate change negotiations to take place in Copenhagen in December. There will be no Copenhagen Protocol to succeed the Kyoto Protocol which terminates on December 31, 2012. A legally-binding treaty will likely be agreed at the Mexico City summit in December 2010, rather than the more proximate UN conference in Bonn, Germany in June 2010. View full Report details »
