Equip yourself with crucial information on the challenges and opportunities in the global Carbon Market

Global and multilateral

In just twelve years, this event, held at the heart of Europe, has established itself as the world's leading global event for stakeholder in the Carbon Market. In 2014, 100 exhibitors and around 2,000 visitors from 110 countries attended the carbon market's leading global trade fair and conference for emissions trading, carbon abatement solutions and new technologies in Cologne.

The interface between industry and technology & climate and carbon finance

New business opportunities for the conventional energy and renewable energy markets need climate financing, which mixes income streams and carbon reduction, public support and private funding.
 

"Carbon Expo answers the questions, using an inclusive approach, and providing a platform for interface between different worlds. CARBON EXPO is where green tech scene meets the climate financing scene."
