CARBON CREDITS
We provide you with solutions in the fight against climat change
from Carbon Offsetting to Carbon Trading
CARBON MARKETS
Carbon markets are trading systems in which carbon credits are sold and bought. Companies or individuals can use carbon markets to compensate for their greenhouse gas emissions by purchasing carbon credits from entities that remove or reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Carbon trading
Carbon trade is the buying and selling of credits that permit a company or other entity to emit a certain amount of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. The carbon credits and the carbon trade are authorized by governments with the goal of gradually reducing overall carbon emissions and mitigating their contribution to climate change.
Carbon trading is also referred to as carbon emissions trading.
​​
Carbon Offsetting
Reducing or eliminating carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gas emissions in order to make up for emissions from other sources is known as a carbon offset.(Source: ) A carbon credit, also known as an offset credit, is a financial instrument that can be bought or traded, and it is a transferrable derivative of an underlying commodity that has been verified by independent certifying bodies or governments to reflect a decrease in emissions. The units of measurement for credits and offsets are tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). One ton of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases, is reduced or removed by one carbon offset or credit.
Carbon Markets
Carbon markets are trading systems in which carbon credits are sold and bought. Companies or individuals can use carbon markets to compensate for their greenhouse gas emissions by purchasing carbon credits from entities that remove or reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
There are broadly two types of carbon markets: compliance and voluntary.
1.) Compliance markets are created as a result of any national, regional and/or international policy or regulatory requirement.
2.) Voluntary carbon markets – national and international – refer to the issuance, buying and selling of carbon credits, on a voluntary basis.

How Cap & Trade works
The best climate policy — environmentally and economically — limits emissions and puts a price on them. Cap and trade is one way to do both. It’s a system designed to reduce pollution in our atmosphere.
-The cap on greenhouse gas emissions that drive global warming is a firm limit on pollution. The cap gets stricter over time.
-The trade part is a market for companies to buy and sell allowances that let them emit only a certain amount, as supply and demand set the price. Trading gives companies a strong incentive to save money by cutting emissions in the most cost-effective ways.
Managing Your
Carbon Footprint
At PTR Solar, we harness the power of the sun to provide you with clean energy. Our solar panels are designed to convert sunlight into electricity, which can power your home or business. Our energy experts will work with you to create a custom solar energy plan that suits your needs.
The National Carbon Market
Initially, the national carbon market will cover the power sector, representing companies that are responsible for carbon emissions making it the world’s biggest carbon market.
​
After 2020, the national carbon market gradually scaled up to cover as many as 7,000 companies in eight industrial sectors (power, petrochemical, chemical, building materials, iron and steel, nonferrous metals, paper production, and aviation).
An Urgent Opportunity
For investors, this presents an incredible opportunity to learn.
The global demand for carbon credits could increase by a factor of 15x by 2030 and 100x by 2050.
Companies that don’t adapt or innovate will be forced to pass the extra costs of polluting onto their consumers.
Those that do, however, will instead be able to sell their "excess" emissions credits to others – and they’ll be able to charge an arm and a leg for them.

Carbon Markets 101
In the United States, no national carbon market exists, and only one state – California – has a formal cap-and-trade program.
​
A carbon market allows investors and corporations to trade both carbon credits and carbon offsets simultaneously. This mitigates the environmental crisis, while also creating new market opportunities.
New challenges nearly always produce new markets, and the ongoing climate crisis and rising global emissions are no exception.
The renewed interest in carbon markets is relatively new. International carbon trading markets have been around since the 1997 Kyoto Protocols, but the emergence of new regional markets have prompted a surge of investment.
Carbon Capture
We have direct access to a innovative and successful company that may as well have provided the aviation industry with the best technology anywhere right now- for any business or industry to meet its carbon-reduction needs before the end of the decade: through the use of carbon-neutral fuel. This startup’s Airmade Air Fuel is distilled from CO2 captured from factories before it enters the atmosphere. A proprietary technology called the Carbon Conversion Reactor mixes the CO2 with hydrogen extracted from water and then combines those compounds with a patented catalyst (in a process that mimics photosynthesis) to produce the fuel.
Renewable and Clean Energy with PTR Solar
Renewable energy projects have already existed long before carbon credit markets came into vogue. Many countries in the world are blessed with a natural wealth of renewable energy resources. Countries such as Brazil or Canada that have many lakes and rivers, or nations like Denmark and Germany with lots of windy regions. For countries like these, renewable energy was already an attractive and low-cost source of power generation, and they now provide the added benefit of carbon offset creation. PTR Solar understands how implementing the resources for clean energy can work for a company's social responsibility.
