Trading crops for carbon

Trading water for carbon with biological carbon sequestration.

Carbon sequestration strategies highlight tree plantations without considering their full environmental consequences. We combined field research, synthesis of more than 600 observations, and climate and economic modeling to document substantial losses in stream flow, and increased soil salinization and acidification, with afforestation. Plantations decreased stream flow by 227 millimeters per y...

Is carbon emissions trading profitable?

a r t i c l e i n f o The European Carbon Emissions Trading Scheme introduced in 2005 has led to both spot and futures market trading of carbon emissions. However, despite seven years of trading, we have no knowledge on how profitable carbon emissions trading is. In this paper, we first test whether carbon forward returns predict carbon spot returns. We find strong evidence on both in-sample an...

Safety of Robust Carbon Trading: Integrated Approach

Project Complexity under Carbon Regulation and Trading

www.pry.fi An increasing level of regulation on carbon emissions is taking place within the building and infrastructure construction industry. Although the US federal climate and energy policy is still in the early stage, it is becoming clear that both regulatory and market-based methods would be likely implemented to limit greenhouse gas emissions from the construction and operation of facilit...
