Whether you are an interested buyer, project developer, or carbon commodity owner, this three-hour session will teach you the basics about carbon commodities and further delve into the complexities of current and emerging carbon markets.
Understanding carbon market drivers and the process for generating carbon assets and transacting on carbon markets is a crucial starting point. This course uses case study examples to drive a holistic understanding of these basics, followed by a look into the future of this ever-changing market. We explore the potential market effects of Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs), international agreements and insurance.
Creating carbon commodities is not easy, but this session will provide the ins and outs from a company that has supported the development of more than 15 million carbon offsets/credits.
The live course is scheduled for Thursday, January 23, 2025 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. MT. via ZOOM.
