Carbon Market Basics with Melissa Lindsay

The carbon market is a new, very dynamic mechanism to exchange carbon units. While it's still an evolving mechanism, it presents exciting opportunities for investors and nature enthusiasts looking to finance and support nature conservation projects. 

To learn more about the exciting opportunities offered by the carbon market, we're joined by Melissa Lindsay, the founder and CEO of Emstream—a tech-enabled carbon brokerage—and Emsurge—a climate-tech start-up building digital market infrastructure for transparent wholesale trading of ESG commodities. Since launching in late 2021, her companies have facilitated the transparent over-the-counter trade of over 10 million tonnes of carbon and have digitally connected over 250 traders worldwide.  Emsurge has partnered with the Climate Action Center of Excellence (CACE) to host regular electronic auctions for Article 6 credits that CACE has vetted to be aligned with the Paris Agreement.

In this webinar, we've explored the topic of carbon units (carbon credits), their role in over-the-counter (OTC) trading, and the increasing importance of transparency and quality in carbon unit selection. We've also examined the impact of new regulations, the drive for more transparency, and the growing role of nature-based solutions. This is an essential session for those interested in carbon markets and sustainability.

Key topics include:

• How carbon credits are helping businesses compensate for emissions
• The influence of market liquidity on trade sizes and prices
• The challenges and potential of commoditising carbon
• Strategies for identifying high-quality carbon projects
