CHICAGO CLIMATE EXCHANGE WELCOMES AUSTRALIA'S AGL ENERGY

摘要

The Chicago Climate Exchange is the largest such exchange in the world and traded in excess of 10.5 million tonnes of abatement in 2006, and in the region of 5.9 million tonnes already in 2007. AGL joins global companies such as Sony, Ford, Motorola and IBM as a member. "We welcome AGL to CCX as the first utility member in Australia, and indeed the first utility outside North America. This is a historic event, which concretely links Australia and the US and highlights the importance of global connections in carbon markets," said CCX chairman and CEO, Dr. Richard Sandor. "As a financial institution with economic, environmental and social objectives, CCX is proud of the contribution AGL will make and we applaud their foresight and leadership on this issue.
