Emissions trading
ASX has announced its intention to support and service the forthcoming Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) at the earliest opportunity through the provision of its existing contemporary trading, clearing, and settlement infrastructure.
Key to the success of Australia’s CPRS will be the introduction of a futures market for carbon pollution permits and any fungible carbon-related products. A futures market will generate the short and long-term price signals and risk mitigation required to underpin investment certainty. ASX anticipates that it will be able to introduce a futures market for carbon pollution permits and fungible credits prior to the scheduled commencement of Australia's CPRS in 2010.
