Voluntary Carbon Markets: An International Business Guide to What They Are and How They Work

---

A good introduction to voluntary carbon markets in the US, available carbon brokers, and some of the strategies used by corporations to approach carbon neutrality through market-based means. This book is not a practical guide for carbon and emissions traders or project finance valuation personnel, but it does present basic market characteristics in a very easy and helpful manner. Please note the markets in the title - most of the solutions described in this book involve swapping reductions from a reducing entity to a company or individual who has not reduced themselves (i.e. this is not a book on how to reduce carbon footprint, satisfy George Monbiot s life goals, etc.)

Also included - decent introductions to the renewable energy markets, a comparison of legislative attempts at carbon reduction (e.g. RGGI, etc.), a listing of carbon brokers, and other current market information.
