Dear {FIRST_NAME|Carbon Industry Professional},

Final Report From CARBON EXPO 2009

Last week international emissions trading was the topic at the Barcelona exhibition centre. Leading greenhouse gas (GHG) market representatives met there at the sixth CARBON EXPO to share experiences and gain knowledge of current topics and trends, technologies, projects and services. 276 exhibitors from 83 countries and around 3,000 visitors from 111 countries attended the carbon market's leading global trade fair and conference for emissions trading, carbon abatement solutions and new technologies in Barcelona for the first time, organised by the World Bank, the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA), Fira Barcelona and Koelnmesse. Among the exhibitors were high-level government representatives from 47 developing countries and countries with economies in transition, who, with support from the World Bank, presented their current emission reduction projects and the related investment and development opportunities.

New World Bank figures announced at CARBON EXPO show that the international emissions market continues its rapid growth. Announced at CARBON EXPO the global market doubled in 2008 and now totals US$126 billion (€90 billion) - despite the turmoil in the financial world. The report went on to say that long-term prospects for the market are strong. In light of the positive development of CARBON EXPO and the continuing growth for the global carbon emission reductions market the organisers were extremely pleased with the results of CARBON EXPO. In a joint statement they said: "The number of visitors and exhibitors testifies that despite the financial crisis, the importance of emissions trading is clear. We are pleased that we could bring together all relevant market players - companies, industrialized and developing countries. The positive response that we have received from exhibitors and visitors shows us that CARBON EXPO generated fresh momentum for the entire emissions trade and carbon market. Barcelona was indeed a good choice for CARBON EXPO as the venue."
