Regional Focus

The carbon market is an international market, with the European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) at its core. The flexible mechanisms of the Kyoto protocol link the EU emissions trade to the climate protection regime. Certificates from the Clean Development Mechanism, so-called Certified Emission Reductions (CERs), and from Joint Implementation, so-called Emission Reduction Units (ERUs) can be used in the EU ETS as well as in other emissions trading systems. The voluntary market where Verified Emission Reductions (VERs) are traded, is also developing dynamically. We trade all these certificates.

First Climate Markets is a global player. We work with partners throughout the world to provide our customers with the carbon certificate supply they need.
