Environmental Issues & Carbon Trading

Filed in archive Hedgetalk on August 30, 2007

The U.S. now has 9 bills in Congress on climate change and according to PGS Energy, states on both coasts are already implementing legislation. However, there is much confusion on how these markets develop.

Hedge fund specialist Peter Fusaro has been engaged on energy and environmental issues for over 32 years from both the public policy and capital markets sides, and has been involved in climate change initiatives since 1990. He is now offering a three hour course on carbon market developments in the US. This course will be offered twice on May 2nd in both morning and afternoon sessions, and once again on June 5th in New York.

Over the past year, more than 350 professionals have taken Fusaro's webinars and seminars on green trading, cleantech & emissions trading, renewable energy trading and carbon market developments in the past year. He is now offering a 3 hour "Introduction to Carbon Markets and Finance." He calls this course the "Frontiers of Environmental Finance," and has taught it for 4 years to electric utility professionals in Tucson, members of the Cleantech Venture Network as well as in house to US corporations and trade associations.

Fusaro has also recently written the definitive text on the "New Green Business Model" in a new book "Cut Carbon, Grow Profits" published by Middlesex University Press in the UK in March 2007.
