» TCR – Certified Reduction of Emissions

WHAT IS THE CERTIFIED REDUCTION MARKET OF EMISSION (TCR)?
It is a market created by the transactions of buying and selling of RCE that can be purchased, also by companies belonging to countries of the annex B, aiming at lessening their goals of emission reduction.
The TCR is a unit transmited by the Executive Council of the MDL (ONU), as a result of the activity of an MDL project . It represents the removal or the non-emission of a metric ton equivalent to carbon dioxide by the company.

WHAT IS CDM? (Clean Development Mechanism)
The underlying idea to CDM can be summarized in the observation that the reduction of a GEGs unit, transmited in consequence of some industrial process or “sequestrated” from the atmosphere voluntarily by a company located in a developing country, can be negotiated in the global market with industrialized countries( or companies in the countries) that need these “credits” to fulfill their goals for reduction of the emission of gases with the Kyoto’s Protocol.
So, through this flexibilization mechanism, it is possible to reduce the GEGs global emissions and at the same time an important alternative for the sustainable development of the emergent countries are presented.
