Following successful editions in Singapore and Hong Kong, the 5th annual Carbon Markets Asia will take place in Kuala Lumpur to enable greater accessibility for project hosts and industry representatives from Asia’s 3rd largest CDM project base. Carbon Markets Asia will continue to bring together leading international players to examine barriers and opportunities which abound this dominant market. Including:
- The policies and regulations that are in place in different Asian countries to help increase the number of projects
- How carbon pricing and buyer/seller demands are shaping the market and what is needed to be done to increase local and international investment in this region
- A variety of case studies from renewable energy to industrial projects will provide practical advice on what is happening on the ground
- The growing role of the voluntary sector with a key focus on forestry projects
- Possible scenarios for what the future holds for the Asian carbon market, post 2012
Asia has become increasingly active in the Clean Development Mechanism and has earned its place as the global leader in generating CDM credits. The Chinese and Indian dominance of the market is well documented but other countries in Asia are fast emerging as key players in the region’s carbon markets. Significant investment is being made to generate Certified Emission Reduction credits in waste treatment, palm, cement and other sectors in countries such as Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia. What progress has been made and how can Asia realize its full potential?
Carbon Markets Asia is an integral event in Green Power’s Carbon Markets Global Series, an annual calendar of events which provide an excellent platform for stakeholders to learn and do business, driving growth in developing markets.
