VER trading combines the commercial trading business with climate protection
Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, 190 countries have committed to limiting global warming to less than two degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels. Institutions and businesses, are obliged to play their part in achieving this objective. The problem: not all emissions can be avoided with immediate effect, because carbon-free alternatives are not yet available.
This is where voluntary emission reductions (VERs) prove useful. RWE Supply & Trading (RWEST) started developing a VER portfolio in 2021.
