This report provides a complete overview of the North American offset market in 2011. It details traded volume and market value by offset standard and by market segment, discusses relevant market players, and reveals price dynamics for selected offset contracts throughout 2011.
POINT CARBON ANALYSIS – Last week California’s carbon market regulator released a final version of amendments to its cap-and-trade regulations that will link California and Québec and strengthen market oversight in California. The amendments are little changed from a draft released in March. A report released with the amendments outlines expectations for Quebec’s yet-to-be-released offset provisions. The protocols listed would provide very little supply to the already short offset market. Overall, the continued WCI regulatory activity is encouraging to potential market participants, and is boosting confidence that the program will start January 1, 2013 with all rules in place.
