Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for facilitating trading of emission allowances and offsets among participants are described. In some embodiments, methods of facilitating such trading include establishing an emissions reduction schedule for certain participants based on emissions information provided by those participants; determining debits or credits for each certain participant in order to achieve the reduction schedule; creating financial instruments representing such debits and credits; and conducting trades of such financial instruments to transfer emission debits and credits between the participants to enable the certain participants to meet the reduction schedule. Also, trades of emission debits and credits are conducted between the participants to enable the certain participants to meet the reduction schedule. The systems of the invention are computer based and are linked via the internet to enable real time operation of the trading system to facilitate buying and selling of emission financial instruments by the participants.
