By rumour, on August 18th, 2011%

With a growing interest in the development of the EUA VAT trails in Germany rumours say that IETA/CMIA are planing side events and are now gathering topics and suitable speakers. As the trails will most probably last longer then any COP/MOP ever has, and, with an estimated value of more than a billion dollars, has a far higher value then any of the last COPs, it seems more then reasonable to get involved!

Can ‘Shadow AAU deals’ be used for money laundering or VAT fraud?

By rumour, on July 6th, 2011%

Frankly speaking, we don’t know but we are very certain that everybody wants to know. AAU deals are much less regulated than EUA deals. Prices are not public. And even less people know what this AAU – International Emissions Trading stuff is all about.

By rumour, on June 2nd, 2011%

Listening to him revealed that there maybe even more than one new carbon fund, most probably due to the overwhelming interest in Post 2012 CERs and his prime access to the utter largest capital sponsors available in the universe..his verbal drum is loud and hollow.

By chris.p.bacon, on February 26th, 2011%
