A new business -- the Carbon Industry -- is emerging in the United States in the wake of recent environmental and legislative trends, and major participants will gather to lay the groundwork next week. Infocast has launched the industry's major building event, The Carbon Finance and Investment Summit, which will take place in New York City May 21 to 23, 2007.
The integration of North America into the global carbon business arena is ushering in a wealth of new business opportunities for North American and European firms alike. U.S. firms are quickly making their move to expand their activities in both North America and around the globe, while Europeans are setting up shop to do business in the U.S.
Governor George Pataki, New York, will deliver the keynote address, OPPORTUNITIES FOR NORTH AMERICA IN THE WORLD CARBON MARKET.
Investment banks, private equity funds, hedge funds, carbon funds, project developers and lenders, clean tech companies, energy companies, and major corporations will gather at the Summit to forge the crucial business relationships needed to take advantage of the growing opportunities in the world, retail, and project carbon markets.
Each group of market players will take the stage to share their business plans for carbon projects and investments, including:
The global carbon market
The retail carbon market
The greenhouse gas reduction project and aggregator market
Clean technologies
Trading and investing in carbon offsets and allowances
Estimating carbon values and assessing their impact on alternative business models
The Summit will take place in the wake of the recent Supreme Court decision regarding EPA regulation of carbon emissions, which makes it a near certainty that regional and state-level cap-and-trade systems will be extended to the national level in the not-too-distant future. This is sure to create an atmosphere where the newly emerging carbon industry will accelerate its efforts to respond to the rapid market developments and the significant business opportunities offered throughout the world.
