CO2 credit values

[KML]

While CO2 credit values have declined significantly over the past quarter, we
expect this will be temporary and ultimately values will rebound into
2008/09.

CO2 credits are the securities which could be bought or sold. In the US there is an established market for such CO2 credits where the companies which have to polute can buy additional credits. Such market starts to become global with the Kyoto protocol being in place.

Examples:
"Entergy is exercising their option to purchase 1 million CO2 emission reduction credits, representing the largest geologic CO2 sequestration purchase within the United States."
"Japan's government said it might begin to buy carbon dioxide (CO2) credits from next April on fears that voluntary efforts by industries may not achieve the country's target to cut greenhouse gases.
Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) estimates the country will need 20 million tonnes worth of emission rights a year to meet its commitments by 2008-2012 under the UN Kyoto Protocol on climate change. "
