Lloyd Westcord Outlook on China Carbon Offsets

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 27, 2012 -- China plans to withhold mission-reduction offsets to comply with its own climate targets after 2015 while limiting supply to European Union. If China decides not to offer Certified Emission Reductions to international buyers, its establishment of local emissions-trading systems will provide a market for locally issued emission credits. Lloyd Westcord has seen that China has already begun a local process for distributing emission credits for emission-reduction projects while closely following the procedures of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).

Earlier this month, prices in the European Union have driven to four-year lows with the help of the rushing supply of offsets from CDM. At the end of 2012, that market will banned supply from new projects in the most developing countries including China. Since 2005, China has still supplied 59 percent of all credit issued and it may maintain that portion of the market by this year based on the projects that are already registered according to the gathered information of Lloyd Westcord.

December’s Certified Emission Reduction credits have dropped 66 percent in the past year as Europe’s sovereign-debt crisis repressed demand. EU allowances for December plunged 5.1 percent to 7.77 euros a ton. Last Sunday, the credits were down 5.3 percent at 3.78 euros or $4.96 a metric ton on the London ICE Futures Europe exchange.
