Carbon Credits are generated by enterprises in the developing world by using cleaner technologies and, thereby, saving on energy consumption. This consequently reduces their greenhouse gas emissions. For each reduced ton of carbon dioxide emission, an organization receives a carbon emission certificate, which it can sell, either immediately or through a futures market, just like any other commodity. Carbon trading is carried out under a UN-mandated international convention on climate change.

Mr. GenichiNakatoni, Chairman and CEO of NGCX saidfurther that, “Japanesecompanies have been at the forefront of innovation in use of technology and green field projects. Carbon futures are an ideal platform for these enterprises to get rewarded for adopting eco-friendly practices. With the launch of futures trading in carbon credits, we have taken another major step towards becoming the nation’s growth engines.”

Under the Kyoto Protocol, Carbon Credits, or carbon emission reductions certificates are issued by the Clean Development Mechanism Executive Board, the highest international body to register projects and issue credits.
