Carbon Expo 2011

Around 3,000 participants from 110 countries and 240 exhibitors attended the carbon market's leading global trade fair and conference for emission trading, carbon abatement solutions and new mitigation technologies in Cologne, organised by the World Bank, the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) and Koelnmesse.

For three days, international emissions trading was the focal point at the Cologne exhibition centre, where leading greenhouse gas (GHG) market representatives met at the seventh CARBON EXPO to discuss current trends and developments in the carbon markets as well as emissions trading, project finance and barriers to carbon mitigation. The format of CARBON EXPO - a trade fair with an accompanying conference covering all aspects of emissions trading - is tailored to the needs of the carbon market, and this year it was once again an ideal platform for serious discussions at the trade fair
