Carbon Credit - An Indian Perspective
Abstract
You’ve got to pace your way through some climate science and a little bit of market economics to understand why India’s entrepreneurs have made such huge investment in plain and simple hot air. Carbon dioxide is today a tradable commodity because some developing countries such as India and China put their foot down and told the developed rich countries that they were squarely to blame for much of the global warming. Europe has a robust carbon exchange today. China, India and Brazil are fighting for a share in the pie to become the biggest sellers of CERs. Indian organization has already committed investment to generate more than 379 million CERs. Worldwide investments have been made that will generate 1.9 billion CERs by 2012. These investments would reduce greenhouse gas emission by 1.9 billion tones. In India there are 591 projects worth rupees 50,000 crore under way.

On December 10, 1997, delegates from 161 nations concluded the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change setting binding targets for reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases by developed nations. The Clinton Administration is generally supportive of the Protocol but will not sign it and submit it to the Senate for its advice and consent until further negotiations on the Protocol are held later this year. Nonetheless, a number of legal questions about the Protocol and its possible implementation have already arisen. This report adresses whether the United States is now legally bound by the Protocol, the legal implications of signing it, whether it could be implemented as an executive agreement without submission to the Senate, and whether the Protocol could be used as the legal basis for regulation of emissions even prior to ratification.
Kyoto Protocol implications for CO2, temperature and sea level are examined. Three scenarios for post-Kyoto emissions reductions are considered. In all cases, the long-term consequences are small. The limitations specified under the Protocol are interpreted in terms of both CO2 and CH4 emissions reductions and a new emissions comparison index, the Forcing Equivalence Index (FEI), is introduced. The use of GWPs to assess CO2-equivalence is assessed.
