Carbon credits are a global market tool, and based on the Kyoto Protocol. But not all countries have adopted these global goals and strategies. As the global threat grows, you will be hearing more about carbon sequestration, carbon credits, and the carbon market. Learn the basics.

... and another perspective:

You be the astute researcher and decision maker. Will carbon credits reduce our appetite for energy? Will it make big companies bigger and small companies smaller? Will it remove the excess carbon big producers have been spewing into the air and water over the past generations?

These are the critical issues facing the young leaders of today and tomorrow. Learn about it. Innovate this global process. Get involved in the discussion, the research, and the solution implementation. Your future career and personal health depends on it.

It won't be easy. Or simple. And big players will try to shape your thinking. Your critical thinking skills will keep you ahead of the latest craze intended to create insane levels of profit for powerful players. Your conscientious leadership can help shape even the largest companies to care for our shared survival.

Yes, I'm a bit concerned :-)

We need to understand the whole system of natural resources to innovate sustainably.  There are many layers to understanding complex natural relationships -- ecosystems.  Start with energy conversion.  From soil and water to living plant.  From living plant to caterpillars to a bird's stomach - protein conversion.  Then burn those plants. And the complex nutrients in the soil.  You get fuel for our cars and energy for our homes, but the net loss to the natural systems is...?

Will carbon credits solve this challenge to a stable natural eco-renewal-system?

The Carbon Market for Carbon Credit Profits

Renewable energy is undergoing a global transformation to cope with today's environmental, economic, health and resource scarcity challenges.  The day of assuming endless supplies of petroleum resources is over, and countries and companies are looking for "renewable" sources that happen within the earth's systems:  solar beams, winds, waves, biomass and even human energy!  Innovation and commercialization of renewable energy is in full swing, offering jobs, investment opportunities, as well as business opportunities to help create the vision and implement the solutions. 

Green buildings of all shapes and sizes will become integrated into these new energy systems for both consumption of energy and generation of energy for their own use and for uploading to the grid.

Here are some of the renewable energies and services surrounding this new shape of energies to come:

Wind
Solar photovoltaics - PV
Wave Power
Geothermal
Solar Concentrator
Solar Thermal
Passive Solar

Energy Services - O&M
Plant MRO
Contract Energy Management

Distributed Generation
Micro Turbines
Fuel Cells
Micro CHP
Gen-sets
Rental
Recip Engines
CHP - Cogeneration
Trigeneration
Waste to Energy

Add to these renewable energy sources high performance energy efficiency, and you have a pathway to net zero energy buildings.  This extreme sport -- net zero energy buildings will leap forward in the 2010 decade as building and emissions regulations require greater focus on efficient operations and distributed power generation.
