The Carbon Crunch
Carbon trading doesn’t sound sexy.
Did you know, however, that international business from carbon trading and its myriad offshoots is worth more than tens of billions of dollars a year – and rising?
A World Bank report calculated the market at US$64 billion in 2007, more than doubling the value of the year before. In Australia alone, a carbon trading scheme is soon likely to create an annual market in excess of $4 billion a year, according to investment bank ABN Amro. Is that sexy enough for you?
If you’re a greenie, that’s good news because momentum to save the planet will grow. If you’re an entrepreneur or investor, it’s also positive because there’s money to be made from carbon trading and renewable energy.
Carbon trading is big business and has caught the attention of people in government, business, investment and environmental circles. Given the debate around climate change and the possible repercussions for the planet and humanity, such interest will only grow.
