La Bourse européenne du CO2 est ouverte. L'Union européenne a lancé, le 1er janvier, le premier marché international des droits d'émission du CO2, une bourse destinée à permettre aux entreprises des vingt-cinq États membres de réduire à moindre coût leurs émissions de gaz à l'origine du changement climatique. La Bourse européenne du carbone est entièrement électronique. Y seront vendus et achetés des droits d'émettre du CO2 et cinq autres gaz à effet de serre. Le système fait partie des «mécanismes de flexibilité» prévus par le Protocole de Kyoto pour faciliter la tâche des pays industriels qui doivent diminuer leurs rejets de gaz réchauffant l'atmosphère [...] Les acteurs du marché ne sont pas les entreprises, mais leurs sites de production (ateliers, usines), qui peuvent être multiples. 2, record 6, French, - Bourse%20europ%C3%A9enne%20du%20carbone
