Carbon credit and how you can make money from it

Rediff has an interview with Joseph Massey, Deputy Managing Director, MCX in India which recently started trading in Carbon credits.
India and China are likely to emerge as the biggest sellers and Europe is going to be the biggest buyers of carbon credits.
Last year global carbon credit trading was estimated at $5 billion, with India’s contribution at around $1 billion. India is one of the countries that have ‘credits’ for emitting less carbon. India and China have surplus credit to offer to countries that have a deficit.
India has generated some 30 million carbon credits and has roughly another 140 million to push into the world market. Waste disposal units, plantation companies, chemical plants and municipal corporations can sell the carbon credits and make money.
Carbon, like any other commodity, has begun to be traded on India’s Multi Commodity Exchange since last the fortnight. MCX has become first exchange in Asia to trade carbon credits.
