GRN vs. ETF Alternatives

GRN Description

The Barclays Capital Global Carbon Index Total Return™ ("BGCITR") is designed to measure the performance of the most liquid carbon-related credit plans and is designed to be an industry benchmark for carbon investors. Each carbon-related credit plan included in the BGCITR is represented by the most liquid instrument available in the marketplace. The BGCITR expects to incorporate new carbon-related credit plans as they develop around the world. The BGCITR currently includes two carbon-related credit plans: European Union Emission Trading Scheme or EU ETS Phase II and Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism.

Tuesday, February 26, 2:25 PM "I cannot think of any reasonable excuse for a firm taking 1,422 calendar days to liquidate a product" quips Ron Rowland in reference to Credit Suisse's (CS) recent announcement it would finally return to shareholders the remaining assets of 3 ELEMENTS ETNs nearly 4 years after the notes were delisted. Additionally, ELEMENTS CS Global Warming ETN (GWO) was delisted before trading today. Rowland believes "the firm has demonstrated an outright disrespect" to holders of its ETNs. Investors still interested in a 'global warming' play can consider the iPath Global Carbon ETN (GRN) though miniscule AUM and volume mean significant caution is advised.
Comment! [Financials]
Sunday, July 1, 2012, 3:32 AM Australia's carbon and mineral resources taxes come into effect today, with major polluters facing a charge of A$23 ($23.55) per metric ton of so-called greenhouse gases they produce. Miners such as BHP (BHP) and Rio Tinto (RIO) will have to pay 30% of their profits from iron ore and coal. The government is optimistic about the revenues it will generate, but UBS is not so sure. 8 Comments [Energy]
Tuesday, June 19, 2012, 12:02 PM GE (GE +1.9%) teams up with Sargas to sell gas turbines for power stations that incorporate the Norwegian company's carbon-capture technology, which can catch 90% of emissions and for much cheaper than rival process. The CO2 can then be sold for use in oilfields at well below the $30/tonne that's paid in Texas. Everyone's a winner. (PR) 1 Comment [Energy]
Wednesday, December 21, 2011, 6:03 AM The European Court of Justice rules that the EU can make airlines flying to or from the region's airports pay to offset their carbon emissions from Jan. 1. Airlines are unsurprisingly hostile, as is the U.S., where Congress has proposed legislation that would make it illegal to comply with the EU law. 4 Comments [Top Stories, Breaking News]
Tuesday, November 8, 2011, 10:12 AM Australia's Senate passes the controversial Clean Energy Act - setting the stage for the new law to directly impact the country's 500 biggest polluters beginning on July 1, 2012. Under the closely-watched legislation, carbon emissions will be taxed at a fixed price of 23 Australian dollars ($23.8) per ton for 3 years before flexible pricing kicks in during 2015. 6 Comments [Global & FX, Energy]
Thursday, October 27, 2011, 1:56 PM Green bonds could give renewable projects a lift if they could catch some positive buzz as a plausible investment vehicle - instead of being viewed as an image-boosting play. State Street Global Advisors, for one, is looking to turn the tide with a new green-bond investing strategy that focuses on returns over premiums. "For this to work at scale there can be no haircuts involved in putting money into green, rather than brown or vanilla," notes a SSGA exec. 2 Comments [Quick Ideas, Energy]
Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 4:04 PM Australia's carbon tax progressed through the lower house of Parliament, moving one step closer to becoming a law that will strongly encourage power companies to use less "dirty" coal. What worked Down Under that couldn't inspire similar legislation in the U.S. or Europe? Natural disasters and an endangered Great Barrier Reef set the right mood to overcome the perpetual lobbying by big businesses. 25 Comments [Global & FX, Energy]
Thursday, October 6, 2011, 7:47 AM Airlines look set to lose a fight with the EU over an emissions trading scheme after a non-binding opinion reads in part: "International aviation in the EU emissions trading scheme is compatible with international law." Carriers landed on the radar of the EU starting in 2008 because they account for close to 3% of global greenhouse gases. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Tuesday, October 4, 2011, 1:31 PM The impact of a carbon pricing scheme in Australia is significant enough to get a mention in a statement from the head of its central bank, as debate progresses Down Under on climate control. Legislation to price carbon in the high-polluter nation is viewed as a potential driver for even bigger changes to climate control globally. Comment! [Global & FX]
Thursday, July 14, 2011, 3:26 PM American Electric Power Company (AEP -1.1%) suspends an agreement with the Energy Dept. to capture carbon-dioxide at one of its utilities, citing the uncertain status of climate policy. The lack of a federal ruling on proposed greenhouse gas limits makes the project commercially unviable, notes the company. Comment! [Energy]
Thursday, January 6, 2011, 2:50 PM China unveils plans aimed at providing energy for its growing economy while lessening dependence on fossil fuels. So-called clean energy accounts for 8 percent of fuel supplies today, but is hoped to double by 2020, helped by investing $755M in nuclear, hydro, wind, and other sources. Comment! [Global & FX]
Friday, January 8, 2010, 4:52 PM The administration rolls out a $2.3B tax credit for clean energy, to create "the jobs of the future, jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced." The credits are going to 183 projects, benefiting companies including PPG Industries (PPG), TPI Composites and Itron (ITRI). (ETFs: GRN, PZD) 7 Comments

But I have a feeling iPath Global Carbon ETN (GRN) will be flat for the next few months. http://yhoo.it/QsZo2s;c=

Interesting, iPath Global Carbon ETN (GRN) is an exchange of carbon "credits" due to the Kyoto Protocol. Vietnam will become the creditor.
