Henry Derwent, President IETA
"Carbon market participants are always seeking to gain clarity given the evolving nature of the market. The IDEAcarbon Carbon Calendar provides the critical events for the carbon market and explain their significance, while the IDEAcarbon pCER Index provides an understanding of the price dynamics in the primary CER market"
Sascha Bloemhoff Climex
"Climex is encouraged by IDEAcarbon’s efforts in offering their innovative and useful tools, Carbon Calendar and pCER price index as information dissemination to the carbon market is important to achieve transparency. Our members will find them quite useful as they offer comprehensive access to all the important globally held carbon events and key developments on the price dynamics in the primary market, which many of our members do not have access to."
Gavin Templeton, Senior Trader, Rabobank
"IDEAcarbon has an excellent understanding of the carbon markets and have provided us with expert advice on the likely performance of carbon projects. Their understanding of the risks involved in this area was first-class and their independent analysis was an essential input to our decision making process.
Volker Horch, Consultant, Special and Financial Risks, Munich RE
"We appreciate IDEAcarbon's in-depth technical knowledge of Kyoto projects to properly evaluate associated risks. The analysis provides a significant contribution to our overall underwriting thought process."
Ingo Ramming, Executive Director, Carbon Trade and Finance
“We recognise the Carbon Rating Agency’s carbon ratings as an important instrument in enhancing the transparency and efficiency of the carbon markets. We believe that as an independent measure of performance and quality, carbon ratings provide a useful benchmark for determining the price of carbon assets. As a buyer of carbon credits, we support the Carbon Rating Agency’s efforts and would consider ratings assigned by them as an important input to our decision making process”.
Mitchell B. Feierstein, ex Head of Carbon Emissions Products, Cheyne Capital Management
"For a long while, we have been very supportive of the creation and development of the Carbon Rating Agency ratings tool. The carbon ratings tool may provide risk managers with more objectively collated project information that may provide help in the overall assessment of carbon investments. The carbon ratings tool may be prudently incorporated, as one of several useful analytics, in a risk manager's arsenal."
Robert Knowles of the Omni Group
“CRA ratings should reduce the volatility and risk associated with investing in these projects. Getting a stable carbon value is important to ensure that we get a range of projects moving.'
Jonathan Young, Carbon Credit Underwriter, Munich Re
“Quality and the risks associated with projects aimed at reducing CO2 emissions are of paramount importance to a lot of the players in the market, but these are also aspects that are still confusing. Independent assessment, applied across a broad range of projects could provide standardisation and transparency needed in this market. The Carbon Rating Agency is the first to introduce such a tool”.
Dana Hanby, Senior Vice President, EUREX
“We recognise the Carbon Rating Agency’s carbon ratings as an important instrument in enhancing the transparency and efficiency of the carbon markets.

“The IDEAcarbon Premium Calendar includes is a very useful, precise and not too long description of the major events happening in the carbon markets. It is a fantastic way to receive valuable information, even for traders, without needing to open all the Bloomberg windows”
