Carbon Markets & Trading

Carbon credits attract two opposite errors: treating them as a licence to keep emitting, and dismissing the whole market as fiction. Both are wrong, and both are expensive. Some credits represent real, additional, permanent reductions. Many do not. This day gives you the tools to tell the difference, explains how the Malaysian market works through Bursa Carbon Exchange, and covers what you can and cannot say publicly once you have bought.

Programme Agenda

Compliance and Voluntary Markets

Emissions trading schemes and carbon taxes against the voluntary market. Where Malaysia currently sits and what a carbon pricing mechanism would change for a Malaysian emitter.

What a Carbon Credit Represents

Avoidance against removal, nature-based against technological, and the vintage question. Reading a credit's project documentation for what was actually done.

Quality: Additionality, Permanence, Leakage

The four tests that separate a credible credit from a worthless one, and why additionality is the hardest to demonstrate. Buffer pools, reversal risk, and double counting.

Standards and Registries

The main crediting standards, what registration and verification involve, and how to look up a project and its issuance history yourself rather than relying on a broker's summary.

Bursa Carbon Exchange

How the exchange works, the auction mechanism, the contracts listed, settlement and retirement. Participating as a buyer, and what listing a Malaysian project involves.

Article 6 and Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes

The Paris Agreement mechanism, corresponding adjustments, and why the host country's position affects whether a credit can be claimed against a national target.

Pricing and Procurement

What drives price differences between projects, forward purchase against spot, portfolio approaches, and the due diligence to do before signing an offtake agreement.

Claims and Greenwashing Risk

What you may say after retiring a credit. Carbon neutral, net zero and contribution claims, the reduce-first expectation, and the regulatory and reputational exposure attached to overstating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sustainability managers, finance and treasury staff, procurement, corporate strategy, and directors weighing an offsetting programme. Project developers considering listing Malaysian credits also attend.

Not in the financial markets sense. It covers how the market works, how to assess and buy credits, and how to make claims, rather than trading strategy or derivatives.

The programme does not push a position. It is explicit that credits are the last step after reduction, and the quality module frequently leads participants to conclude they should spend on abatement first. That is a legitimate outcome of the day.

Only enough to connect an inventory to an offsetting decision. Quantifying emissions is covered in Carbon Accounting and GHG Inventories.

Yes, this programme is HRD Corp SBL-KHAS claimable. Our team can assist your HR department with the documentation required for the grant application.

Yes. Any programme can be booked as a team day. Everyone works the same brief together, so your people come away having built something and knowing each other better.

If you are claiming under HRD Corp, the session has to fall at least 14 days after your HRD Corp approval. If you are not claiming, the date is flexible and we work around your calendar.

Put them on the self-paced e-learning instead. Your team works through the modules on our LMS in their own time, sits the assessment, and earns the same certificate, so nobody has to clear a full day together.
