Emissions trading agreements are contracts between a seller and a buyer of carbon or other types of emissions (e.g. NOx and SOx). For greenhouse gas mitigation projects, carbon emission credits are typically traded under the Kyoto Protocol or under various other carbon trading schemes, including voluntary mechanisms. Environmental attributes trading agreements, such as renewable energy certificates (REC), are a mechanism to sell and purchase environmental attributes, which are the legally codified environmental benefits of renewable energy production. These types of agreements can be critical to the financial viability of a clean energy project.
