3. Kyoto Protocol: What is it? The Kyoto Protocol (KP) : International agreement through the United Nations for developed countries to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Goal: To reduce the global emissions of GHGs, which cause climate change: Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) Chemical Formula Global Warming Potential (GWP) Carbon dioxideCO 2 1 MethaneCH 4 21 Nitrous oxideN2ON2O310 HFCsDepends on type45 to 9800 PFCsDepends on type10,000 to 14,000 Sulphur hexafluorideSF 6 23,900

4. Kyoto Protocol: What is it? The KP Method: KP uses the market to reduce GHG emissions in the most cost effective manner:  Firms reduce their GHG emissions and sell the reductions through a carbon market.  Carbon market: New market where the commodity traded is tons of carbon not emitted to the atmosphere (i.e. emission reductions).  Buyers: Private firms, governments, brokerage houses. The KP Rational: 1. GHGs globally affect the climate - it doesn’t matter geographically where emissions are reduced. 2. To promote investment in and introduction of new technologies. 3. To reduce GHG emissions in the most cost-effective way.

5. The Carbon Market: Demand Germany: Commitment to - 261 Mton CO 2 Cement Factory in Berlin Commitment to 100,000 tons CO 2 Reducing 100,000 tons GHG emissions from the factory costs $20 per ton. Germany has divided its Kyoto GHG emission reduction target between factories in the country.

6. Romania: A company captures landfill gas (methane) emissions from old landfill. Cost: $500,000 Project reduces 100,000 tCO 2 that would have been emitted to the atmosphere EcoTraders’ role 1.To develop the project using UN guidelines. 2.To have project registered by UN. 3.To prove to the UN that the 100,000 tons of landfill gas emissions have been reduced. 4. To broker the carbon credits. The Carbon Market: Supply EcoTraders: Develops the GHG-reduction project Romanian company’s role 1. To construct and operate the project.

7. Germany: Commitment to -261 Mton CO 2 Cement Factory in Berlin Commitment to 100,000 tCO 2 Romanian company: Landfill gas project Cost: $500,000 Reduction of 100,000 tCO 2 The Carbon Market: Transaction EcoTraders brokers these 100,000 tons for the Romanian firm on the carbon market Price: $8 per ton Revenues: $800,000

8. The Carbon Market Projects emission reductions may range from 5,000 tCO 2 for a small project to 300,000 tCO 2 reduced per year in a large project. Market prices are dependent on a number of factors, such as: → Whether the emission reductions have already been approved by the UN → Project risk factors → Market supply and demand

9. Carbon: A Growing Market Since its inception in 2003, the carbon market has grown by over 200%! Future emission reduction targets are being increased and the carbon market should grow in the future as demand for emission reductions rises.

11. Project Stages: Development Steps to develop GHG-reduction projects that the UN will register and that will generate verifiable GHG reductions: 1. Data collection 2. Project Idea Note (PIN) for initial approval from government bodies 3. Baseline study and project feasibility assessment 4. Monitoring plan preparation 5. Project Design Document (PDD) (project documentation submitted to the UN) 6. National approval for the project from government bodies 7. Stakeholders’ comments event 8. Project validation Project registration with the United Nations

12. Project Stages: Brokerage Steps to broker emission reductions on the carbon market: 1. Fulfilling project requirements 2. Consistent data monitoring and archiving 3. Calculation of emission reductions 4. Verification of project and emission reductions Brokering emission reductions
