GLOBAL VOLUNTARY CARBON MARKETS - Key findings of report Voluntary market volume/value over time Project types and locations selling credits Average credit prices Utilization of third-party standards, registries Buyers motivations and buyer types The voluntary markets in VOLUNTARY CARBON MARKETS IN LATIN AMERICA 4. Q & A - Project types and locations selling credits - Reasons for limited transaction volume 5
6 What are the Voluntary Carbon Markets? All trades of carbon credits for reasons other than compliance with regulation. Two voluntary markets: Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) - est Voluntary Over-the-Counter (OTC) Market - est Types of credits traded: offsets and allowances Credits created for the voluntary markets specifically (known asvoluntary Emissions Reductions, or VERs) Credits created for CCX (known as Certified Financial Instruments, or CFIs) Credits created for the Kyoto markets (Clean Development Mechanism, or CERs; Joint Implementation, or ERUs; EU ETS, or EUAs) Credits created for other regulated markets (e.g. RGGI in Northeast U.S.) Another breakdown: pure vs. pre-compliance 6

8 The voluntary markets doubled in transaction volume and financial value between 2007 and 2008 In 2008, the market responded to criticism of offset quality Tremendous infrastructure development & market maturation Consolidation around the most popular voluntary carbon standards Increased linkage between standards, credit accounting registries, and exchanges Increase in market analysis Key findings Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Public Relations (PR) remain the core buyer motivations, but intermediaries are scaling up and the pre-compliance market is growing Increasingly sophisticated buyers 8

31 Reasons for limited Latin American VER transaction volumes It s an issue of supply, not a lack of demand. Limited government capacity to support CDM Supplementary CDM laws that restrict eligible CDM project types (e.g. Brazil has restrictions on landfill gas project types) Low-hanging fruit already harvested Investment risk associated with smaller-scale projects Lack of understanding of CDM, VER markets Need for capacity building Katoomba Group Ecosystem Services Incubator
32 Main take away lessons The global voluntary carbon market is maturing and growing rapidly. Voluntary offsetting is very important for CSR/PR purposes and fills a unique niche alongside compliance markets. The growth of the voluntary markets in the next 1-3 years is heavily dependent on the scope of regulation. The pre-compliance subset of the voluntary market will grow in 2009 and Standards are key to determining which offsets are likelyto be used in a cap-andtrade scheme. The voluntary market is likely to continue to exist even after au.s. cap-and-trade scheme takes effect. Regulation will never cover all emissions sources. More than their volumes or valuse, the greatest contributions ofthe voluntary markets may be their incubation of new project types (e.g. REDD) and providing policymakers and the public an understanding of how offsetting can fit into a climatechange abatement strategy. Growth in the L. American VER supply is associated with development of L. American CDM projects. 32
