Meanwhile the European Union have been actively developing policy and implement pragmatic controls, which have led to the development of active emissions markets that are maturing fast. Patrick Birley, Chief Executive of ECX, the most liquid carbon exchange in the world, will give an overview of how the markets works, their development history, future growth prospects and outline opportunities for Irish business to get involved.
