Verified ETP Market
The VCU market accommodates all companies and industries not forced to comply with fixed reduction quotas as seen in the compliance market. In this market, VCUs are traded ‘Over-The-Counter’ (OTC). Demand in the verified/secondary market is fast growing. For example in 2010, 131 million metric tonnes of CO2 were transacted, a 34% increase on 2009, according to Bloomberg.
General market opinion is that the wide scope of the verified/secondary market plus private sector led growth, as opposed to the public sector, means that it has a strong potential to outstrip the mature market size of the compliance regime.
Estimates are that by the end of 2013, the total value transacted in the carbon markets is projected to reach US$669 billion, making it one of the biggest growth stories in investment (Emissions Trading Markets Worldwide, 2010).
By 2015, Bloomberg estimate a demand of 460 Million tonnes of VER’s and 1.6 Billion tonnes of VER’s by 2020.
VER’s are subject to strict verification standards meaning that these ETPs must be:
-
Real
-
Measurable
-
Permanent
-
Additional to what is already being done
-
Independently verified
