RE: Carbon credits

[Stephen Gitonga <GITONGA@itdg.or.ke>]

Hi Phil

UNFCC offices should have the answer to your question, in case you need
really detailed answer but I am aware of some facts which you might want to
follow up for further reference:

1) the world Bank prototype Carbon Fund was set up in 1999 with a fund value
of US$150 million. Investors are a mix of private sector and governments,
involved in oil, financial,, manufacturing, electricity and general energy.
Up to date, on average, the PCF has paid US$3per tonne of co2. Contact PCF
for more details

2) The Netherlands has started a trading system. The Dutch Government has
initiated series of programmes including, Dutch Carbon purchasing Programme.
An average price of Euro 8 per tonne of co2 has been paid in some
activities. Please contact the Dutch Government for further details

3) BP and Shell are known to have established internal carbon trading
systems. 

4) A company by the name Eco securities. Based in Oxford Uk is an
established environmental finance company that has wide experience in the
issues that you have raised (contact belinda@ecosecurities.com

5) The UK is said that it will start trading on carbon this year (2002) 

These are not answers to your questions but pointers to where you might get
more detailed answers

Subject: Carbon credits


Dear Stove list members,

I would very much appreciate your assistance in finding examples of
countries that have opted to particapate in the climate change program
described in the Kyoto Protocol. I am seeking examples of countries that
have put in place systems for increasing the removal of atmospheric
pollutants, such as restricting the cutting of trees so that the
sequestering of carbon increases (compared to what it would be if the
trees in the forest were cut and burned). Additionally, I would like to
find examples of countries that have systems for determining how much
additional carbon dioxcide was sequestered and finally how this
reduction in pollution is converted into carbon credits and sold?

Thanks for your assistance.
Phil Johnston
