Opalesque Unites Fusaro, Prof. Siry and Sona Blessing for Carbon Led Investing Webinar

Opalesque A SQUARE ("Alternative Alternatives"), still the world's first and only publication and independent research portal dedicated to alternative alternatives, has drawn leading experts in the field of carbon management for an interactive webinar on Feb. 11th, 2009 16.00 Swiss time, 10.00 am (EST):

Peter C. Fusaro, Chairman, Global Change Associates - Energy and Environmental Consulting and engaged in the process at the US federal level

Professor Jacek P. Siry, a specialist in carbon sequestration issues, at The Center for Forest Business, Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, University of Georgia

Moderator Sona Blessing, Director of Research, Opalesque Ltd

The experts will share insights and perspectives based on their “hands-on-experience” in this space and will address the following:

· Carbon emissions - facts, figures, fantasy

· Carbon sequestration

· How investible is it as an asset class?

· Could carbon become the biggest of any derivative product over the next 4-5 years?

· Cap and trade as a mechanism

· Carbon compensation: growing, cultivating, harnessing forests, other offsetting methods

· Pricing carbon emissions - the mechanics

· The prospects for carbon trading post 2012

· Role of the US - shifting from a voluntary to a compulsory system

• Agreeing on a global regulatory framework - how realistic?

The EU endorsed a plan in December 2008 to reduce the 27-nation bloc's greenhouse gas emissions by 20 per cent from 1990 levels by 2020

Member states and other developed countries are urged to increase that figure to 30 per cent – how realistic is this?
