The Green Market

Spurred by the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol, the global market for emission reductions has grown rapidly and the green market has become the fastest growing financial market in the world with a turnover of 2.2 billion tons in 2007 alone in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (second phase carbon credits are trading above 20 euros per ton).

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. We enable our clients to view today's carbon footprint as a potential asset, rather than just a liability.

Experience
Since 2005, SiO2 has worked with numerous businesses and institutions across the UK and the EU to manage their carbon portfolio and guide the development of their strategic offsetting strategies.
