At the beginning of the seminar is the essay by Dr. Pham Thu Thuy, Forestry and environment researcher. She introduced the basic concepts of "Carbon credits", "Carbon pricing" or "Determination of floor prices and ceiling prices" of this pricing.

Dr. Pham Thu Thuy introduces basic concepts of "Carbon credits", "Carbon pricing" or "Determination of floor prices and ceiling prices"

Carbon credit is what?

Carbon credit (carbon credit) is a certificate of exhaust emissions2 or other greenhouse gases converted to CO2. Inside, The seller is the ability to reduce or increase carbon absorption compared to the reference level. Each carbon credit corresponds to a ton of CO2 or the amount of greenhouse gas converted equivalent to CO2 has been prevented or removed. Quantity CO2 The newly planted trees can be absorbed compared to this scenario will be considered as an increase in carbon absorption compared to the reference level. How many tons of this increase will be converted into "Carbon Credits"?.

Why has carbon credits?

“Carbon credit” Originated from the Kyoto Protocol (Kyoto Protocol) year 1997, An international agreement to control and minimize the global greenhouse gas emissions. Whereby, Participants committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, At the same time, it is allowed to exchange carbon emissions with each other in the international market through carbon credits. Since, Global carbon market, Where companies or countries are more than the prescribed levels can buy credits from organizations, Projects or countries have lower emissions or carbon absorption as one of the ways to achieve waste reduction goals.

How to operate of carbon credits:

– High emission enterprises:

Businesses whose emissions exceed the allowed limit will need to buy carbon credits from the market to offset these emissions..

– Project reduces emissions:

Businesses, Organizations or individuals invest in reducing emissions or eliminating greenhouses, For example, planting forests, Using renewable energy, will receive carbon credits.

– Trading market:

Carbon credits can be traded in the market, helps balance emissions between parties.

Purpose and meaning:

– Reduce climate change:

Carbon credits are an important tool in the market mechanism to mitigate the impact of climate change.

– Encourage green development:

Create financial motivation for businesses to invest in green technology, clean energy and environmentally friendly projects.

– Meet legal regulations:

Businesses can use carbon credits to comply with national and international regulations on emissions reduction.

Dr. Thuy also introduced the application of science and technology and AI to pricing, forecast forest carbon and urban forest using artificial intelligence combining satellite images and evolution of development in history + Future forecast (For example, Market demand, Buyer's hobbies, Potential forest carbon ...).
