Carbon Markets
Barclays has been at the forefront of emissions trading since the EU trading scheme began in 2004 and our achievements have been recognised with a host of industry awards.
We are one of the most active participants in the global carbon emissions market and in 2010, cemented this position with the acquisition of the Swedish company, Tricorona, which specialises in carbon trading from greenhouse gas reduction projects in developing countries.
Our experience in carbon trading has also seen us become a key partner to a range of major utilities, large industrials, governments, carbon funds and project developers.
As a leading provider of financial and commodity risk management solutions to industry, funds and investors, Barclays has been ideally placed to help clients to understand and manage their carbon risk exposure through our extensive product range.
