The ETF Innovators Global Carbon Trading Index tracks the performance of 20 companies (summarized in accompanying table) from a starting value of 21,687 on 1/19/09 which are involved in a variety of green business activities, including the following: financial exchanges for carbon credits, renewable energy projects resulting in the generation of carbon credits, greenhouse gas capture, waste-to-energy projects, and investment funds which specialize in clean energy companies.
The Global Carbon Trading Index has lost about 15% of its market value in the past five weeks to a level of 18,497 as initial enthusiasm for the space with the election of President Obama has faded given the realities of a global economic slowdown and bear market for stocks.
With the launch of AirShares Carbon Fund (ASO) in mid-December, investors have another option to trade the price of carbon with the iPath Global Carbon ETN (GRN) (an exchange-traded note which is a debt obligation of Barclays) already on the market since last summer. The exchange-based trading of carbon allowances in the U.S. began this past summer with the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). The 10 RGGI states in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic have enacted a voluntary, regional cap and trade system to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from power plants.
ASO has lost about 40% of its value since it was launched by XShares on 12/15/08, with about 200,000 shares outstanding, $3M in net assets, and an average trading volume measured in hundreds. GRN has lost more than half of its value since launching last summer, with 100,000 shares outstanding, $1.8M net assets, and an average volume of less than 2,000 shares per day.
Key factors in the demand for carbon credits include overall power demand and the relationship between natural gas and coal prices since burning gas results in the release of less than half of the greenhouse emissions versus coal. Currently, the simplest way for power utilities to reduce greenhouse emissions is to convert from coal to gas. Below are the two leading global proxies for the price of carbon.
1.) European Union Allowances or EUAs (which are tradable emission credits from the EU Emissions Trading Scheme providing the right to emit one ton of carbon dioxide, representing about 79% of GRN) (ASO is a commodity pool fund which invests in a basket of EUAs only).
2.) Certified Emission Reductions or CERs (which are credits generated under Kyoto's Clean Development Mechanism for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions equal to one ton of carbon dioxide equivalents, representing the other 21% of GRN).
Given the highly speculative nature for most of the companies in the Global Carbon Trading Index, investors may consider CNX Gas (CXG) as a way to gain exposure to the space without the risk of a pure-play carbon credit business model. CNX Gas is an independent natural gas exploration and production company based in Pittsburgh with operations concentrated in the Appalachian basin.
CXG has increased its acreage position by 345% over the past three years to a total of 3.8 million acres through a mix of coalbed methane (CBM), unconventional shales, tight sands, and conventional deposits concentrated (63%) in the Appalachian basin. Proven reserves account for just 7% of the 3.8 million acres, with partially-assessed and un-assessed acres accounting for 46.5% each.
CXG is the second-largest play on methane gas capture in the U.S. behind Waste Management (WMI). As the only oil and gas company registered as an offset provider with the Chicago Climate Exchange, CNX Gas has already registered 8.4 million tons of carbon credits and expects future capacity to generate 2 - 3 million additional tons annually. RGGI emission permits are trading around $3.50 per ton, which is down sharply from the mid-$5 level last summer.
The largest play on exchange-traded carbon credits is Climate Exchange (UK: CLE.L) (CXCHF.PK), which is engaged in developing financial exchanges that allow for the trading of environmental financial vehicles such as the carbon credits tracked by GRN and ASO. The Company's three main businesses include the European Climate Exchange, the Chicago Climate Futures Exchange, and the Chicago Climate Exchange.
However, Barclays (BCS) recently announced over-the-counter trading of RGGI emission permits in the U.S., circumventing the regulated exchanges offered by the New York Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Climate Exchange. Climate Exchange has lost over 40% of its market value on a year-to-date basis with a market cap of about $330M U.S. Dollars.

murdering Beryl – for the first time in Brixton prison on his lawyers admit it-the process is the same type: first gas made her lose consciousness, followed her with rope and then sexual intercourse.
When he asked when Mr Huo Bosen repeat this statement, Christie said he was not sure she still is the first sexual intercourse. His lawyer pedicled with kelifudun give me a real copy of the original autopsy report, and I consider the medical evidence to support his statements.
The strongest evidence is Beryl (same with her daughter) was strangled with a rope, which is the Corpus Christi fixed means. Closed pinching of the dead and most of the murderer is. Pedicled with other SAR reports prove Beryl was dead had been beaten before: an eye blackened, description lip bruise on her face was boxing. And more serious in her thigh and leg contusion. These injuries and Christie murders are different. Thiard also noted in the Anterior vaginal wall are two injuries-a is the old scars and next to it there is a small area of contusion, pedicle Yar contusion at the local court, said that may be caused by attempts to violent sexual intercourse or when fighting. He also says that this is most likely due to a syringe and self-inflicted, Beryl seems to want to try out the abortion (she was four months pregnant).
In addition to not wearing underwear, her body through a full range of clothing. But pedicle Yar not vaginal swab laboratory. If what he did, he would almost certainly be found Christie's sperm. Lu multi-dimensional g · Kennedy in his very popular book of the 10th residence Lillington, wrote in; and I suspect it all on Dr Meirion Evans-write thousands of words in the Corpus Christi case stories are also to be found in more careless than this exaggeration.
If Christie was using the coal gas poisoning Beryl, then her skin and tissues should be lit cherry red ① (① when carbon monoxide poisoning, the formation of carboxyhemoglobin, blood is cherry red, skin and tissue is cherry red. --The translator). This feature significant signs of carbon monoxide poisoning, unlikely to be as careful as pedicle Yar and apparent murder cases ignored by experienced pathologists. Campos very clearly on the other three bodies, which at the time of check of two cases had died almost two months.
Beryl's body to save almost degrees, when the pedicled Yar for autopsy, was not enough for a month. And has a complete spirit of pedicle Yar is also for the General laboratory examination of the carbon monoxide, but found nothing.
