Carbon Markets Overview<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Carbon markets are quickly making their way to the forefront of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG<\/a>) investing, as well as the finance community as a whole. The Kraneshares Global Carbon ETF, (Ticker: KRBN) (whose holdings I\u2019ll dive into shortly) was one of the top 5 performing ETFs in 2021 on a % return basis (1)<\/sup>. However, it doesn\u2019t appear that 2021 was a one-hit-wonder for Carbon Markets, but instead, the beginning of a new and very real trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether we\u2019re analyzing the private sector or the most powerful governments in the world, it\u2019s safe to say that the push for \u201cnet-zero emissions\u201d and carbon-friendly policies is one that will continue to crescendo into the latter half of the decade and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the private sector, some of the largest companies in the most carbon-intensive industries (from a greenhouse gas emissions perspective) have already publicly declared their net-zero targets. These industries include Oil and Gas (e.g., Shell, BP, Total, Chevron), Utilities (e.g., Engie), Steel (Nippon Steel), Cement \/ Construction Materials (Holcim, Boral), Automotive (e.g., Ford, General Motors, Volkswagen), and Beverage (e.g., Coca-Cola) (2)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The private sector is not in this endeavor alone. There continues to be a substantial push from the public sector with the most powerful world leaders driving their economies towards net-zero emission targets and\/or carbon tax policies. Countries with policies already in place include the United States, China, Canada, the UK, the Eurozone, Argentina, Mexico, Columbia, Chile, South Africa, and Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the incredible collaboration between the private and public sectors to drive these new industry standards and policies, there are three subsequent questions a skeptical investor might ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Are carbon markets capable of solving the issue of greenhouse gas emissions?<\/em><\/li>
  2. What is the forecast \/ outlook for carbon markets?<\/em><\/li>
  3. How can retail investors allocate capital to carbon markets?<\/em><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The Acid Rain Case Study<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s tackle the first question \u2013 Are carbon markets capable of solving the issue of greenhouse gas emissions<\/em>? \u2013 using the famous acid rain case study(3)<\/sup>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The acid rain program began in 1995 in the United States and was developed for the purpose of removing Sulfur Dioxide (SO2<\/sub>) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOX<\/sub>) from the atmosphere. SO2<\/sub> and NOX<\/sub> are the two primary pollutants that drive acid rain. The initiative called for a ten million-ton reduction in SO2<\/sub> emissions, and a one million-ton reduction in NOX<\/sub> emissions by the year 2020, using the 1980 emission levels as a starting baseline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Similar to the carbon emission markets of the present day, the SO2<\/sub> and NOX<\/sub> markets leveraged a strategy that combined government policy with drastic changes to private sector operations. More specifically, there were two major components to this strategy, which resulted in the SO2<\/sub> and NOX<\/sub> markets coming to fruition. The first component of this strategy was the emission reduction targets previously mentioned. These emission reduction targets were set by the United States government in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The second component of the strategy was the creation of the SO2<\/sub> and NOX<\/sub> Cap and Trade Program. The Cap and Trade program laid the groundwork for establishing a market exchange that facilitated free-market pricing of SO2<\/sub> and NOX<\/sub>(4)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The SO2<\/sub> and NOX<\/sub> Cap and Trade program has been wildly successful. In short, the program resulted in a 93% reduction in SO2<\/sub>, and an 87% reduction in NOX<\/sub> as of the year 2020, all but wiping out the acid rain issue throughout the entire United States. If the SO2<\/sub> and NOX<\/sub> cap and trade program can be replicated for carbon, it would appear that markets do have the ability to resolve the carbon emission problem domestically, if not globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Compliance Carbon Markets: The Carbon Cap and Trade Program<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The carbon cap and trade market for trading carbon allowance credits (futures) is effectively identical to the SO2<\/sub> and NOX<\/sub> cap and trade markets which successfully combated the acid rain issues across the United States. A visual of how this market functions for Carbon can be viewed in Figure 1<\/strong> (Carbon Streaming Corporation, Compliance credits<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Local, state, or federal policy will dictate maximum emission limits (otherwise known as emission caps). For example, the California carbon allowance allocation for the year 2021 was just over 164 million metric tons (California Air Resources Board<\/a><\/em>). A full breakdown of the various allocations that make up the 164 million metric tons can be viewed in Figure 2<\/strong>. From there, carbon emitters have the ability to buy or sell carbon allowance credits (futures) based on how many metric tons of carbon their operation emits into the atmosphere. Operations that emit more than the cap amount would look to buy carbon allowance credits from an organization that emits less than the cap amount (cough, cough Tesla<\/a>). Operations that emit less than the cap amount would look to sell their carbon allowance credits to an organization that is emitting more than the cap limit. This market system incentivizes carbon-emitting operations to reduce their carbon footprint. If they are unable to reduce their carbon footprint, they\u2019ll be forced to pay for carbon allowance credits from organizations whose carbon emissions are below the government-mandated cap. Additionally, there are various penalties (in the form of fines) that would be enforced if an organization does not meet the net cap limit, either organically through decreasing their carbon footprint via operations, or inorganically through purchasing carbon allowance credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Voluntary Carbon Markets<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The second portion of the modern-day carbon market is known as the Voluntary Carbon Market (or voluntary carbon offset credits). Voluntary carbon offsets are a new innovation to Carbon markets that were not part of the acid rain SO2<\/sub> and NOX<\/sub> cap and trade program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Voluntary carbon offsets can be generated by voluntarily financing \/executing projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions beyond an operation\u2019s business as usual setup\/jurisdiction. Carbon offset credits generated by such projects can be broken out into two categories (Carbon Streaming Corp, Voluntary credits<\/a>)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The first project category is avoidance\/reduction, such as forest conservation or greenhouse gas emission capture. The second project category is removal\/sequestration, such as reforestation, wetland restoration, or direct air capture technology(5)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Carbon offset credits can be purchased by governments, public\/private entities, or individual investors via some market or exchange. However, once a carbon offset credit is used to reduce the net greenhouse gas emissions of the operation to which it is being applied, those credits can no longer be traded (bought or sold) or applied again elsewhere to a different entity\/operation. This holds true for both compliance carbon credits and voluntary carbon credits. There are registries run by independent organizations that (i) verify voluntary carbon offset credits generated through \u201cgreen\u201d projects, and (ii) track the application of these carbon offset credits against an operation\u2019s greenhouse gas emission levels such that offset credits cannot be re-used. The first organization of its kind to carry out this mission is the American Carbon Registry(6)<\/sup>. Another highly reputable organization that carries out the same function is Verra(7)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
