China Carbon Congress 2008
Sheraton Sanya Resort, Hainan, P. R. China, 24-26 September 2008

Carbon trading in China has grown tremendously over the past years, and it is set to continue to expand even more so over the next decade. In the meanwhile, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) presents new business opportunities for many of China's industries such as energy and mining, steel and cement. There is a strong likelihood that your ongoing project activities could be eligible to participate in the CDM which would provide you with additional value through the sale of Greenhouse Gas emission reductions.

As the world's largest CDM market, China has huge potential, estimated at perhaps US$8 billion per year. What does a company need to do in order to benefit from this new mechanism? How can companies develop a successful CDM project? What are the ways to navigate through the numerous risks involved? In essence, how to maximize the value from CDM projects?
