EXCITING NEW CARBON CREDIT SECRETS REVEALED
How the Top People in Carbon Credits
Are Quietly Making $100,000 to
$50 Million Each Year"
(And How You Can Do The Same - Or Maybe Even Better)
Let me take you on an exciting guided tour of what's working - and not working - in the Carbon Credit market today. I'll maneuver around the pitfalls… and there are lots of pitfalls! And we'll journey through some of the most inspiring, dynamic, real opportunities available right now.
I am going to show you exactly how you can easily start applying several little-know success strategies to this business… strategies which are responsible for some of the most impressive financial successes in the carbon credit market today.
It doesn't matter if you have absolutely no idea what Carbon Credits are or what a carbon offset is for that matter!… or you've never had any training in this area or never even been in business for yourself (and you find the industry completely intimidating)… or you're already well versed in the background of this unique market. You'll discover where the real opportunities in the Carbon Market are… and that they're not where everyone else is looking!
I'll completely avoid "theory" and hype. In fact, what I'm about to share with you is based on years of painstaking research, and my "in the trenches" experiences delivering extraordinary results for some of the most successful people in the Carbon Finance and Project Development.
My name is Regan. Before I share my own success story with you, let me answer the number one question I get asked…
Is Anyone Really Making Any Money
In the Carbon Credit Market Today?.......
Absolutely!
According to the Chicago Climate Exchange currently 30% of fortune 500 companies currently monitor their carbon footprint and look for ways to reduce or offset their carbon emissions. Further, I found that my students combined average monthly sales were over $16,000 per student in 2009 ($192,000 per year) with many successful students earning at least a hundred thousand a month.
Let's take a look at a few of these success stories…
1. Individual creates green program for convenience stores - generates $1,000,000 in residual revenue per month.
Jon envisioned a way for individuals to offset their carbon footprint when filling up their car with gas. At participating gas stations once you've finished filling your tank, the dispenser asks if you would like to offset your carbon emissions for the quantity of fuel you have purchased. When you select yes, it charges the customer an extra 5 cents a gallon. The money generated is used to purchase carbon offsets. The success of the program has launched his business from dream to a high demand service.
Jon's, company, has grown 600% per year. He does this with no employees or inventory - he has made a niche market worth millions of dollars. The 26-year-old entrepreneur now dominates the growing market for carbon offsets at the pump. His net worth is estimated to be around $55 million.
2. Investor banks $6 Million a Year in Carbon Investments.
Here's a wonderful story that will capture your imagination: Jim Watts was a local delivery driver in the greater Los Angeles area. Jim got tired of fighting the traffic and decided to quit his job. But he was not ready to retire and still needed an income, so he decided to learn how to profit from Carbon Brokering.
He read everything he could about Carbon Brokering and how carbon credits could generate large returns if he invested the time into understanding how market prices were manipulated. He invested his retirement in carbon credits. He invested a total of $40,000 in a little know commodity called CFI (Carbon Financial Instrument) it is in essences a commodity that can be traded like any other commodity. He consistently doubled and tripled his money every year. He soon began teaching others to do the same and has created a whole new industry advising others.
3. Entrepreneur Electrifies wallet with $5,000,000 per month from utilities.
Dean Harris started is business marketing green programs to utilities around the country. It has been such a success that he is now teaching others to do the same. His ingenuous concept was to allow individual power consumers to decide how and what type of energy they purchased. They could purchase, wind, solar, biomass or other renewable energy technologies.
The utility customers pay an extra fee in their bill to switch from coal "dirty technology" to a clean "green" alternative. He has created a $5 Billion dollar industry.
4. "Going Green" The mantra that generates $300,000 per month for a green consultant
Tim Jennings created the "Green Program" for companies like PEPSI, FRITO LAY, GE, GM, FORD, Honda, PG&G, and other iconic companies. They are spending billions of dollars every year going "GREEN". Tim creates and implements optional "consumer green" programs. These programs allow the customer to choose whether they want to support the company in their green efforts by choosing to pay an additional fee to cover the cost of carbon offsetting. He earns commission on these million dollar deals from the comfort of his home.
Keep in mind… many of these individuals were just like you. A surprisingly large number were amazed at how fast and inexpensive they started their business. Now they gain a significant share of their revenues… through multiple channels explained in this Carbon Brokering Program.
And the good news is that these individuals can serve as a great example for you and your own carbon credit business. You can apply the same success principles they use to your situation - and achieve equal, and possibly even greater success.
Bluenext in China carbon venture
By Kathrin Hille in BeijingPublished: June 19 2009 03:00 | Last updated: June 19 2009 03:00
"We are aiming at launching a joint venture, which would also direct us to other countries, not only to China," Serge Harry, Bluenext chief executive, told the Financial Times.
"With CBEEX to launch a market in China in the near future, we have to start somewhere," said Philippe Chauvancy, sales director. "We have the network and the resources to be involved in the launch of the market in China."
Bluenext, jointly owned by NYSE Euronext and Caisse des Dépôts, the French state-owned bank, and CBEEX set the cornerstone for an international trading platform for Chinese carbon emission credits yesterday with an agreement to offer information on Chinese emissionreducing projects to potential foreign investors on Bluenext's website. The two exchanges also plan to launch a number of new products that are still under regulatory review in China, Mr Harry said. He declined to provide details. In Europe, Bluenext's products (apart from carbon spot trading) include carbon futures and spreads, which allow investors to arbitrage. The exchange has also announced indices and exchange-traded funds.
The agreement comes ahead of a Copenhagen meeting in December which is due to decide on a successor to the Kyoto protocol, whose main provisions expire in 2012.
Mr Chauvancy said recent climate change talks between Washington and Beijing had brought hopes that the Copenhagen meeting could kickstart secondary carbon markets involving the US and China, the two largest CO 2 emitters, on a large scale.
Low-Carbon: Venture Capital, Policy - at i4Energy
I was a bit disappointed with John Zysman talk at Citris/i4Energy last Friday (2/19/10) at UC Berkeley, entitled:"The Transition to a Low Carbon High Efficiency System: Implications for Venture Capital, Policy, and Climate Negotiations"
I am not a venture capitalist, whom I think was his target, and I did not understand some of the language or references.
And Prof. Zysman announced, a little too boldly, that he is not a scientist or engineer, and indeed I thought his talk showed a lack of data or evidence or causality that I would expect.
And at times I thought he was repeating, in a different vocabulary, what is obvious to all of us: a change to low-carbon high-efficiency economy is going to be a big change, an "system systems transition."
So why write about this talk?
Because it needs to said, in every possible language and to every possible audience: the old rules must change, and this includes financing.
Unlike the IT/semiconductor revolution, which Prof. Zysman seemed to know well and referenced several times in which VCs profit (or 'bet') on 'incremental' improvements, such as transistor density or CPU power to an established base, the move to renewables is anything but clear and will be difference from IT. It will not be a bet on a specific product, not a bet on a specific technology, but more correctly: a bet on whole suite of technologies, which won't work if one technology is missing. He cited electric cars, for example. Without a recharge grid, electric cars won't take off. Without a truly smart grid, perhaps renewables can not take off. And if you bet on wind, and then solar takes off, where does that leave the VC?
So it is more than a carbon price, more than optimizing an old technology in a new form. (He cited the problems of building a lighter aluminum engine as replacement for internal combustion engine - tried and did not work.)
He mentioned the semiconductor industry road-map and urged a similar carbon road-map. He stressed the need for policy to drive technology, i.e. choose a 'trajectory' and not discrete technologies alone, so multiple developments are completed correctly, and in parallel. The old VC model isn't going to cut it.
And he argued, which we all know, that India and China are pursuing systems change and we are just not a player.
I'd like to see Prof. Zysman rewrite his talk in a form and language non-VC professionals can understand and not use words with ambiguous meanings to laypeople (paradigm shift, transitions, hedge vs. VC models). Perhaps he could draw more concretely on past energy transitions, wood to coal, which he said took 100 or so years.
Then we can appreciate what he is trying to tell us, which may be of vital importance.
And what if the VC model fails? Energy supply and climate change are world problems. Surely we should consider that huge pools of capital, talent, ideas can be tapped with different rules.
