Carbon emissions and other forms of renewable energy trading have been steadily increasing in recent years. According to the World Bank's Carbon Finance Unit, 374 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) were exchanged through projects in 2005, a 240% increase relative to 2004. As a leading energy state, will Texas be able to take the lead in carbon trading and carbon sequestration? Join us for a discussion on how market mechanisms – specifically, carbon trading – can help monetize CO2 and provide incentives for new company formation.
