History

Natsource is one of the first major companies arranging carbon trading between industries and investors under the cap and trade model EU-Emissions Trading Scheme and Clean Development Mechanism.

According to its website in January 2010:

In 2004, Natsource arranged the first publicly announced transaction of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) between private companies from a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project with an approved baseline. The project incinerated HFC-23, a potent greenhouse gas, from a facility in South Korea. Our early commitment to developing the CER market was demonstrated by the fact that up the end of 2004, Natsource had originated and structured transactions for over 10 million CERs from a range of technology types and countries.

We also have significant experience in national and regional allowance markets and arranged some of the first transactions in these markets. In 2001, Natsource arranged the first greenhouse gas allowance transactions in the UK and Danish emissions trading programs. In 2002, Natsource originated the first forward swap of UK and Danish allowances.
