Boston Carbon Corporation (BCC) secures GHG emission Credits for its clients
by passing them through the Approval & Accreditation Process run for them by
Independent Accreditation Services (RW Beck) in the United States and by
Acres International in Canada and then having them registered by Global
Carbon Holdings LLC (GHC) in a Massachusetts Registry and Bank that GHC
may also run for the Commonwealth.BCC will encourage its clients to bank their
GHG Credits in the Boston Carbon Fund for future trading and transactions.
There likely will be two types of Funds. The first type, a Hedgers vehicle,
will consist of: utilities, energy companies, cement companies, process companies,
auto and transportation companies. They will all participate by buying
Credits to meet their exposures to mandated emission reductions.The Hedgers Vehicle
(by GCH - Global Carbon Partners) will be an investment vehicle to be used by
the above listed categories of industrial companies that have, may or will
become subject to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions regulations and receive
mandated reductions.They will be known as 'Regulated Parties' and will face a
potential future liability which will require regular "draws" to satisfy the
regulatory obligations. Because of this, this vehic;le will be managed to
provide a financial / pricing hedge against the market cost of Certified Emission
Reduction Credits (CERCs), while providing regular liquidity opportunities to
the Regulated Parties that have invested. This vehicle may be managed as a pooled
fund or on a separate accouont basis.
The second category, 'Speculators', will invest for profit and return on an
attractive asset class in an Investors Fund. They will include: funds,
trusts, foundations, corporations and high net worth individuals. The Investors Fund
will be a blind pool investment manged for maximum returns over a long term
horizon (7 to 10 years).As above, this vehicle would be marketed to financial
investors looking to participate in the profit potential of a new and growing
asset class. There will be few or no lilquidity opportunities prior to full
maturity of the investment. We anticipate the fund will have a defined life, similar to a
closed-end hedge fund, with an orderly liquidation and return of invested capital
and profits.
BCC plans to setup interfaces with international instititions such as:
Prototype Carbon Fund (World Bank), Clean Development Mechanism Executive
Board, Council of State Governments, Chicago Climate Exchange,
Dansk Norsk Veritas, CPC of Russia and the CCCC of Kazakhstan. Global
Carbon Partners of GCH will manage and operate the Boston Carbon Fund.
