Carbon Trading is a market based mechanism for helping mitigate the increase of CO₂ in the atmosphere.  Carbon trading markets are developing that bring buyers and sellers of carbon credits together with standardized rules of trade.

Who are potential buyers for Carbon credits?

Any entity, typically a business, that emits CO₂ to the atmosphere may have an interest or may be required by law to balance their emissions through mechanism of Carbon sequestration.   These businesses may include power generating facilities or many kinds of manufacturers. 

 

Who are potential sellers of Carbon credits?

Entities that manage forest or agricultural land might sell carbon credits based on the accumulation of carbon in their forest trees or agricultural soils.  Similarly, business entities that reduce their carbon emission may be able to sell their reductions to other emitters.
