Key quotations
There’s a lot of simplification we can do without jeopardising environmental integrity.
– Yvo De Boer, Executive Secretary, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
So far the ETS has been the structuring factor of the global market. I think it is the ETS that is giving value to the CER’s and to JI credits when they come on the market.
– Jos Delbeke, Director, DG Environment, European Commission
For a company like Shell, maybe Shell in particular, who has such a recognisable brand and therefore feels a certain exposure to that brand in terms of how Shell complies with legislation and maintains public trust and maintains a sense of transparency about its performance verification is essentially the fulcrum around which all that happens.

Gareth Phillips, the Chief Climate Change Officer with Sindicatum Carbon Capital is the unsung hero in the production of this podcast. We interviewed him in Cologne during the Carbon Expo. Unfortunately, due to background noise, the audio files were not able to be used.
But the insight that he provided on the importance of technology, investment and verification led us to change our line of questioning. His insight was invaluable in helping produce a podcast that was both interesting and educational. THANKS GARETH and SORRY if we wasted your time, it definitely was not a waste of time to us!
