Will there still be a market price for CERs and ERUs in two years time?

29 May 2011 - Climate Brief - By : Nicolas STEPHAN / Benoît LEGUET

Medium-term (i.e. pre-2015) demand for credits from the EU ETS and secondary sources of demand appears to be limited to 1.6 billion tCO2e. The supply of Kyoto credits is relatively predictable, and will cover demand between now and 2013-2014 according to our base-case scenario.
