This is not only fantastic news, but very significant news for CCE! MUST READ! http://www.enviroassociates.org.uk/?p=3823 http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-08-21/california-carbon-allowances-sell-at-a-dollar-below-forecasts.html http://uk.reuters.com/article/2013/08/21/california-carbon-idUKL2N0GM1N220130821

Carbon permits in California is not an easy task! It would be easier to buy 5 quid of potatoes with a 3 Pound note...

Of a day trade... I'm going to hold CCE as a long position... She has loads of potential in the future...:)

Read that link I posted from FORBES... It explains it very well and you'll get a better understanding of what all this is about and significance of the Rns just released for CCE...

This link from Forbes Magazine... http://www.forbes.com/sites/skollworldforum/2013/07/22/california-again-leads-the-way-this-time-with-forest-carbon-offsets/

Could be a game changer for CCE!

It's sort similar to receiving planning permission/approval from the council/government as we would here in the UK...

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) says it will issue the first compliance offset credits eligible for use in California’s cap-and-trade greenhouse gas emissions reduction program by the end of the month. The first batch of 600,000 offsets includes a combination of early action projects and compliance offset projects. Carbon offset credits are issued for GHG reductions that take place in sectors not covered under the state’s cap-and-trade program. Each credit represents 1 metric ton of carbon dioxide and only carbon offset credits issued by CARB are considered compliance offset credits. CARB Chair Mary D. Nichols says the offsets have undergone “the most rigorous verification of any existing program.” The evaluation process included third-party verification to ensure that the offset credits achieve real GHG reductions under CARB-approved protocols. Covered facilities may use carbon offsets to cover up to 8 percent of their compliance obligation. Carbon offsets also act as a cost-control measure for covered facilities because offsets generally cost less than allowances, which are issued by the state. The offsets come from projects that provide additional environmental benefits beyond reducing GHGs. These include protecting the ozone layer or supporting improved forest management, which upgrades water quality and habitat. The first compliance offset credits are all for projects developed under the Ozone Depleting Substances Protocol. This protocol requires the destruction of potent GHGs that leak into the atmosphere. Eligible ozone depleting substances have been used as refrigerants and as foam-blowing agents. Their release into the atmosphere damages the earth’s ozone layer and also contributes to global warming.

Early action projects are GHG reductions generated under CARB-approved voluntary carbon registry protocols. These credits for early action recognize that real and verified greenhouse gas reductions were made in good faith before the cap-and-trade program began. For carbon offset projects to be considered for CARB offset credits, they must first be registered with a CARB-approved carbon registry. Each project developer must then provide a complete history of the project. The documentation and the project site itself must be evaluated by CARB trained, independent, third-party verifiers. CARB staff then review each project as well. CARB compliance offset credits will be issued within the Compliance Instrument Tracking System Service (CITSS), the same system in which state-issued allowances reside. Once the determination to issue credits is made by CARB, it can take up to 30 days for the credits to be placed in the holder’s account in CITSS. CARB currently has four approved offset protocols that can generate compliance-grade carbon offset credits: Forestry management projects (in the lower 48 states) Urban forestry projects Dairy digester projects (to capture methane from manure at dairy facilities) Ozone depleting substances (ODS) destruction projects An Ecofys-led consortium has helped CARB establish product-level greenhouse gas emission benchmarks for various production processes. The benchmarks will be used to determine the amounts of free emission allowances for individual plants in the California cap-and-trade program.

Get a bit of attention today... She could move north very easily:) Tiny market cap and few shares on offer!

In just after the Rns was released:)

Is excellent news... If I read it properly... California has the most stringent rules and regulations in America regarding carbon emissions etc... CCE has just landed/won the rights and now has Carbon 'Permits' to conduct their business etc...

Check out the Rns just released for CCE...

Camco Clean Energy PLC 25 September 2013 Camco Clean Energy plc First Carbon Offsets to be received under California's Cap-and-Trade Program Camco Clean Energy plc ("Camco") has received notification that it will shortly be issued 54,497 California Carbon Offsets (CCOs)) under California's cap-and-trade program (the "Program"). These form part of the first compliance offsets to be issued under the Program. The Program commenced operation on 1 January 2013 and certain companies across California who release emissions must buy allowances if they exceed annual limits. Currently the Program applies to the electricity and other industrial sectors and from 2015 it will also apply to the fuel sector which will extend its coverage to almost 85% of emissions, more than the existing European Emission Trading Program (the "ETS"). The Program has a current auction floor price of USD $10.71 that will increase by inflation plus 5% each year, providing more price certainty for market participants than the ETS. CCOs may be used by Californian market participants for up to 8% of their annual emissions as a cheaper and more flexible way to meet their compliance obligations. The Californian Air Resource Board (the "ARB") has approved four projects types from which eligible CCOs may be generated. These project types are: destruction of ozone depleting substances ("ODS"), agricultural methane, forestry preservation and urban forestry. Camco has been developing offset projects in North America since 2007 and has a portfolio of projects generating offsets across the ODS destruction, agricultural methane and forestry preservation project types. Camco has developed a significant number of the agricultural methane projects currently listed under the Program which are under its management. The first project for which Camco has now received approval destroys ozone depleting gases, which would have otherwise been emitted into the atmosphere. Camco has progressed 12 projects through the ARB early-action review process and anticipates further approvals and issuances of CCOs from its projects in the coming months. Scott McGregor, Chief Executive Officer, said: "Camco is proud to begin delivering high quality offsets into the California cap-and-trade program, building on a history of delivering offsets from a portfolio of more than 300 projects globally. "We are excited to see the emergence of a well-developed and regulated offset program. In anticipation of California's program, over the past six years we have developed a local platform with an expert team able to navigate technical and regulatory requirements and a portfolio of projects with operational track records. With the issuance of the first compliance offsets we are in a strong position to deliver consistent volumes of offsets to help meet demand from market participants going forward."

24 September 2013 BREEDON AGGREGATES LIMITED ("Breedon" or the "Company") OFT Review of Scottish Acquisition As previously announced by Breedon, on 30th April 2013 the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) informed the Company that it wished to review the recent acquisition of Aggregate Industries (AI) business in northern Scotland to decide whether there were competition issues which required referral to the Competition Commission (CC) for further examination. The OFT has today announced that, following its investigation, it believes that there are some competition issues which it considers require further examination by the CC. Breedon has conducted an extensive examination of the market and believes strongly that there are only minor issues in one product area which may require disposal of a limited number of individual assets. Breedon believes that its view is consistent with the findings of the CC in their recent market review and the criteria applied to the Anglo American/Lafarge merger in 2012. The main investigation by the CC is expected to last for up to six months. Further announcements will be made as appropriate in due course. Current trading in the Group remains strong and in line with current market expectations, and a further update will be given in the Group's pre-close trading update on 26 November 2013.
