So what is carbon trading?
SED is holding two forums aimed at business people and local government, in Cardinia and on the Mornington Peninsula to solve the riddle of carbon trading.
Australia will join in global efforts for responding to climate change with a national Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) from 2010. Emissions reporting for large polluters begins July 2008. There will be changes in pricing for energy, production processes and goods and services. What are the likely changes? How might they affect business? Are there opportunities that businesses can capture in an ETS?
