IDEAcarbon Launches a “Partner Programme” for the First Comprehensive Online Calendar for the Carbon Markets: Enabling Investors and Policy Makers to Stay Abreast of and Anticipate Key Factors Shaping Emissions Markets

LONDON - IDEAcarbon today launched a partnership programme for its Carbon Calendar
to enable carbon market participants to track and analyse the key events that
shape the regulatory changes and other events likely to influence the global
emissions market. The IDEAcarbon Carbon Calendar(TM) was launched today in
cooperation with the Thomson Reuters’ Carbon Market Community, the London
Energy Brokers Association, reegle.info and Carbon Yatra who will carry the
calendar on their websites. The IDEAcarbon Carbon Calendar(TM) was first
introduced in December 2007 for government, financial and compliance clients
of IDEAcarbon services.

Announcing the launch of the partnership programme, Shandi Modi, CEO of
IDEAcarbon said “the Carbon Calendar is the first calendar of factors which
our editorial team believes will likely shape expectations in the emissions
markets. We expect the Carbon Calendar will provide a valuable resource to
serious professional participants, observers, and policy makers in the
climate change and emissions markets. We believe that it will become an
indispensable tool to the clients of our partner companies”.

Responding to the launch Stefan Reichenbach, Global Head of Environmental
Markets at Thomson Reuters said “the IDEAcarbon Carbon Calendar covers the
events that move the markets and explains their significance for Thomson
Reuters Carbon Market Community website users.”

The IDEAcarbon Carbon Calendar(TM) is updated on partner websites and
covers three key event categories:

- Regulatory, legislative and negotiating events including CDM Executive
Board and JISC meetings, the EU regulatory schedule, US regional
trading scheme launch dates and UNFCCC negotiations;

- Market events, contract expiry dates and auctions;

- Conferences, workshops and seminars in all major cities.
