2023/05/22

David Ledesma discusses with Mohua Mukherjee what to expect from the Indian Carbon Market which is under preparation at the moment and will be launched later in 2023. India, like other signatories to the Paris Agreement, will be setting up its emission trading rules as per Article 6 of the Agreement. India was the second largest issuer of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) under the Clean Development Mechanism, which was the predecessor to today’s carbon market. Therefore, the country already has

2023/05/12

David Ledesma discusses with Nnaziri Ihejirika the development of Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) in Canada and government regulation. To support the broad adoption of CCUS in Canada, the government has introduced two fiscal and regulatory levers – carbon pricing and an investment tax credit (ITC). Federal output-based pricing system (OBPS) for carbon, introduced in 2018, will see the cost of CO2 escalate from $65/tCO2e in 2023 to $170/tCO2e by 2030. On the other end of the carrot-stick
