The Carbon Market

Spurred by the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol, the global market for emission reductions has grown rapidly and the carbon market has become the fastest growing financial market in the world with its size doubled to ~€90bn last year, while traded volumes soared by over 80 per cent year-on-year to 5 giga tonnes of carbon.

The rapid growth of the carbon market, combined with the increasing momentum towards regulation of greenhouse gas emissions in the Unite Kingdom, presents British companies and investors with myriad threats and opportunities. SiO2 was formed to enable these entities to win in the carbon market, capturing the maximum value possible from their domestic and international emission reduction efforts/investments. We enable our clients to view today's carbon footprint as a potential asset, rather than just a liability.
