Carbon market survives gas leaks

摘要

On the closing Friday of Carbon Expo in Cologne earlier this month, a crowd of nervous emissions traders was seen swarming around the stand of a German consultancy firm. The focus of their attention was an analyst who had managed to log on to a supposedly secure European Commission website. The site listed verified data on carbon dioxide emissions from thousands of large companies. The commission was due to release these market-sensitive data the following Monday, 15 May.
