CMA is a trade association for carbon market service providers

Carbon TradeEx America





Koelnmesse, the co-organizer of Carbon Expo and Carbon Forum Asia, and CMIA present the newest, national event for the carbon and environmental markets industry.

Delivering market participants and low-carbon technology suppliers a forum to engage in dialogue about the business opportunities presented by the emerging US Carbon Market, Carbon TradeEx America is designed to serve the national education, networking and business needs of current and future Carbon Market players. With attendees including Carbon Traders, Financial Institutions, Venture Capital Funds, Project Developers and Technology Providers, Carbon TradeEx America is set to become the leading Carbon Market Trade Conference in North America.

Taking place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center from April 7-8, 2009 in Washington, D.C., the event builds on the recent success of the Carbon event organized earlier in February in San Francisco and adds to the list of international environmental events co-organized by the Koelnmesse group such as Carbon Expo, Carbon Forum Asia, Wind Power Asia and Clean Energy Expo China. Offering a comprehensive conference program addressing topics such as carbon finance, carbon policy as well as technological and market-related issues, the event aims to maximize opportunities for buyers and sellers.



CMIA's President Abyd Karmali, Managing Director and Global Head of Carbon Markets at Merrill Lynch, said: "Regardless of its outcome, the U.S. Presidential election in November 2008 will likely result in a much stronger push to enact federal carbon legislation as well as support for the several regional state-level carbon market initiatives. We view Carbon TradeEx America and our partnership with Koelnmesse, the co-organizer of Carbon events, as a tremendous opportunity to help engage in a dialogue with market participants and low-carbon technology suppliers about the business opportunities presented by the emerging carbon markets in the U.S."

"We consider Carbon TradeEx America as a welcome addition to our existing Carbon event family, including Carbon Expo in Cologne, Germany. Washington, DC is one of the key cities which will play a major role in the development of the North American Carbon market in the near future. Our access to the international carbon community will contribute considerably in providing increased value to the carbon finance community in North America," adds Mette Petersen, President of Koelnmesse, Inc.

Thomson Reuters will join Carbon TradeEx America 2009 as the Official Information Provider. Stefan Reichenbach, Global Head of Environmental Markets for Thomson Reuters said: "We are delighted to be participating in what is shaping up to be one of the premier events for the American carbon markets in the markets' most pivotal year".
