Carbon Credit Portfolios |
|
Carbon credit portfolios have been experiencing differing fortunes in India and United Kingdom. The scenario is better at United Kingdom compared to India where companies are not keen on selling carbon credits in forward market.
Companies in India, which have been participating in clean development mechanism projects have not been keen enough on venturing into forward markets for selling carbon credits. This has meant that forward market is non-existent from a political point of view. A main reason behind this has been the fact that they expect prices of carbon credits to appreciate in future.
There are certain companies in India though that are trying to trade carbon credits. As per consultants of carbon markets prices in forward markets vary from 10 to 14 Euros. Prices are however, dependent on factors like type of project and its registration status with United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Condition of carbon credit portfolios in United Kingdom has been comparatively better. For example, carbon credit portfolios of EcoSecurities Plc have been making profits. It is expected that this company would be making profits worth 191 million Euros. These are projected figures for sales to be done till 2012.
In recent times Trading Emissions Plc has opted to deduct 3% from its carbon credit portfolio. However, this is supposed to be an insignificant deduction as high selling prices of the same has covered up for it.
