"This cross-border deal represents the first bank arranged carbon credit trade between two private sector organizations," said ABN AMRO Australian Commodity Derivatives team director Craig McBurnie. "The deal has required an extensive understanding of the carbon trading landscape and the two hydro energy projects underpinning the deal's success."
ABN AMRO noted that the seven-year carbon emissions deal will be subject to ongoing monitoring of emission reduction performance.
