Trading Personal Carbon or personal carbon trading refers to proposed emissions trading schemes in the UK under which emissions credits are allocated to individuals on a (broadly) equal basis, within national carbon budgets.
Individuals can then surrender these carbon credits upon the purchase of, for example, electricity, gas or transport fuel. Those who need or want to emit more than their allowance would have to buy allowances from those who emit less.
Carbon trading schemes and carbon offsetting schemes do exist in the UK and the USA but they are in their early stages of what is expetced to be a growing market ast the world becomes more aware of its social responsibilties.
