After graduating with a bechelor's degree in physics from Shantou University four years ago, Peng Jinhua entered a totally new arena. He began helping Chinese companies earn money by reducing their carbon dioxide emissions.
Peng's job was created by the Kyoto Proctocol, an international agreement on carbon dioxide reduction effective in 2005. The protococol says that, by 2010, industrialized signatory countries must reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 5.2 percent, compared with 1990.
Meanwhile, the protocol allows public or private entities from industrialied countries to invest in emission reduction projects. They make these investments in developing countries to invest in emission reduction projects. They make these investments in developing countries to offset their own emissions and earn "credits".
