The European quota system is not a panacea but it deserves to be highlighted. Finally a concrete action !!

Yep, carbon exchanges or how to capitalize on one more "resource": CO2 ...

In the end the releases are the same ... Am I wrong?

[Kornydwen]

Of course, applying market mechanisms to something like CO2 can make people cringe. But I think that if it can move things a little, everything is good to take! Because if we wait for the solution to come from the good will of the manufacturers themselves ...

[Christophe]

Yes it's not wrong ... but hey ... it's a step forward but far from being an evolution ... especially given the tariffs per tonne of CO2 largely undervalued ...

[Kornydwen]

Completely! As long as the price per tonne of carbon does not reach a minimum of 40 euros, the environmental constraint is almost zero for manufacturers. Especially that without the participation of the United States (and China or India), the system remains flawed and incomplete. That said, the price of the second phase (2008-2012) remains at reasonable levels and it is especially after 2012 that is the problem. Because signing the end of carbon finance goes far beyond a banal decision: it is all the credibility of the European Union on the environmental subject that is at stake ...

This Friday evening's Thalassa show focuses on carbon finance, with a particular subject on CO2 exchanges ... Watch it !!
