I. Overview

ECC is a P2P exchange design service provider of environmental

assets based on blockchain technology to promote the field of carbon

emission, carbon energy bank, clean energy production and circulation. It

realizes the large-scale afforestation and greenhouse gas emission

reduction with the belief to promote with the basis of clean development

mechanism (CDM) promoted by UNFCCC. It is divided into clean

development mechanism (CDM), carbon exchange and carbon bank as

well as ECC Human Forest these several plates.

1.1 Clean Development

Clean development mechanism includes the carbon base, carbon

emission exchange, clean development equipment business and the

production and distribution of clean fuels. It is the core plate of the entire

ECC ecology since it is effectively linked with ECC Fund, World Carbon

Bank (WCBE) and World Carbon Exchange (WCEX). The carbon

emission right (CER) and cash token are recycling in the whole system,

so as to have a better production and distribution of carbon credits and

clean fuel smoothly.

-3-
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
1.2 World Carbon Exchange

World carbon exchange is integrated with the carbon emission

trading of governments and enterprises of all countries, which contains

the entrustment of carbon trading and P2P transaction, so as to build up

an environmental assets processing center.

1.3 World Carbon Bank

World carbon bank is a project to take in charge of the field of

carbon emission, proceeding fund replenishment, storage and

productization of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4),

hydrofluorocarbons (PFCs), super-fluorocarbons (N2O), nitrous oxide

(N2), etc.

1.4 ECC Human Forest Is A Game Based on Application


Software

User shall try to take public transport and reduce the use of plastics

and other energy, so that they would be granted with ECC Coin as reward.

Meanwhile, the virtual plantation planted in Human Forest would be

planted in the real world, such as dessert areas in China and Middle East

by ECC Fund.

—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
Specific advantages of the project are:

 Effectively Solve the Reliability Problem of Escrow。

 Efficient Settlement and Low Cost。

 Effectively Solve the Issue of Carbon Emission Right。

 Strong Technical Support。

II. Project Introduction

In essence, blockchain achieves the credible circulation of value

through a technology system formed by multiple technologies and the

mutual cooperation among technologies, so it must be deeply integrated

with real economy to fulfill its value. The application of blockchain

technology is not limited by financial field, the thinking value of

blockchain shall be applied really to combine the technological

innovation and financial innovation with business optimization, product

innovation and demand innovation of real industry. While our Eco-in

focuses on the project of great threat to ecological environment of the

world caused by the current increase of greenhouse gases.

The current global warming problem is serious disasters caused by

temperature rise, ocean warming, sea level rise, climate change, etc., and

there is also a great threat to continent. The carbon emission right trading

mechanism reducing the emission of greenhouse gases is good for

-5-
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
greenhouse gases. The representative gases are carbon dioxide (CO₂),

methane (CH₄), hydrofluorocarbons (PFCs), super-fluorocarbons (N₂o)

and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). According to the regulation of United

Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the

gases under certain quota could be emitted, but the extra part could be

sold and the trading among enterprises is so active.

However, people are fragile with the reliability of Escrow used in

the trading, and the current settlement with currency is increasing the

economic burden caused by proceeding the trading procedure. Therefore,

our ECC Platform gains shares and the environmental assets of the

production through investment of enterprises of environmental protection

and prevention of global warming to achieve the capitalization and

profitability. The reliability of Escrow would be ensured by building up


-6-
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
world carbon exchange and world carbon bank.

ECC is a P2P exchange design service provider of environmental

assets based on blockchain technology to promote the field of carbon

emission, carbon energy bank, clean energy production and circulation. It

realizes the large-scale afforestation and greenhouse gas emission

reduction with the belief to promote with the basis of clean development

mechanism (CDM) promoted by UNFCCC. It is divided into clean

development mechanism (CDM), carbon exchange and carbon bank as

well as ECC Human Forest these several plates.

2.1 Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)

Clean development mechanism is the core plate of the entire ECC

ecology since it is effectively linked with ECC Fund, World Carbon Bank

(WCBE) and World Carbon Exchange (WCEX). The carbon emission

right (CER) and cash token are recycling in the whole system, so as to

have a better production and distribution of carbon credits and clean fuel

smoothly.

Clean development mechanism includes the carbon base, carbon

emission exchange, clean development equipment business and the

production and distribution of clean fuels. Carbon base and carbon

emission exchange provide conveniences for all kinds of carbon


-7-
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
exchanges, so that they could have a better exchange and circulation of

carbon emissions as commodities to gain profit. Clean development

equipment business and the production and distribution of clean fuels is

for all kinds of traders and clean fuel merchants, so that they could get rid

of rough traditional way in the past and they could guide clean

development work with more data and granularity; besides, they could

promote the production of clean fuels and the distribution would be more

marketing. As for the business of clean development equipment, it is the

combination of digital economy and real society to link the

environmentally friendly low temperature pyrolysis incinerator,

intelligent power supply, clean generator, clean incinerator and other

offline equipment for a better transfer and overall planning in the whole

ecology.

-8-
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
2.2 World Carbon Exchange ( WCEX ) and World Carbon Bank

(WCBE)

ECC project is a technical project to reduce the burden of traders

through low procedure fees and more rapid and convenient procedure

with the blockchain as basis and the digital currency as settlement media.

Especially the world carbon exchange and world carbon bank could

effectively handle the business and improve the efficiency with

centralization. What’s more, there would be no intervention or burden in

the trading of parties involved. The trading procedure fee is super low, so

it is a project that is not opposite to the blockchain P2P target.

World carbon exchange is integrated with the carbon emission

trading of governments and enterprises of all countries, which contains

the entrustment of carbon trading and P2P transaction, so as to build up

an environmental assets processing center. It is recorded with blockchain

technology, so it is safe and traceable. There is also combination of the

actual carbon emission and ECC token.

-9-
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
World carbon bank is a project to take in charge of the filed of carbon

emission, proceeding, fund replenishment, storage and productization of

carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), hydrofluorocarbons (PFCs),

super-fluorocarbons (N2O), nitrous oxide (N2), etc. With the combination

of clean development (afforestation, etc.) mechanism, energy

regeneration project (hydrogen generator, solar heating), greenhouse gas

emission reduction project (low temperature pyrolysis incinerator, etc.), it

gains environmental assets through protecting global environment, so as

to achieve the result of economic increase. Then, the previous harvests

would be reinvested to the energy, environment and greenhouse gas

emission reduction project, so as to be a recycling system to prevent from

global warming and environmental protection in the world. The profit of

environment asset would be given to participants in the form of ECC

Coin, so that each participant could gain profit. World carbon bank plays

- 10 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
a center in the entire ecology and it is connected with carbon exchange,

ECC Fund and all business. With blockchain technology as basis and

traditional bank system as skeleton, it could reach the rapid charging and

withdrawing of carbon resource really, so as to provide good feeling of

sense of experience and stability of the participants in the ecology.

2.3 ECC Human Forest

ECC Human Forest is a game based on application software.

China is one of the countries with the largest desertification area and

the most serious damage in the world. According to relevant data, the area

of desertification in the country has reached 2.623 million square

kilometers. Obviously, desertification has been the most serious

ecological environment problem in China. It would not only threat the

living and developing space of the people in the western region and it
- 11 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
also seriously affect the ecological safety of the country. Therefore, it is

so urgent to have a treatment of desertification.

We present the ECC Human Forest. User shall try to take public

transport and reduce the use of plastics and other energy, so that they

would be granted with ECC Coin as reward. Meanwhile, the virtual

plantation planted in Human Forest would be planted in the real world,

such as dessert areas in China and Middle East by ECC Fund.

- 12 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
Each user activated in ECC Human Forest would get a seed for free

and they would gain reward after finishing certain task. The rewards

could be fertilizers with different functions, various kinds of seeds

(different varieties have different growth periods), sunshine and water, etc.

You could also exchange ECC token with the resources needed by the

growth of tree according to certain proportion. Users could also gain

partial reward by sign-in and the interaction with friends. Users could

entrust ECC Fund to have a real plantation when the trees in the game

grow up, and they could also choose to have system recycle according to

the various types of trees to exchange for ECC token.

- 13 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
2.4 ECC TOKEN ECONOMY MODEL

ECC, as the only pass of ecology, can effectively connect carbon

absorption(CDM), Carbon exchange, Carbon bank, ECC Human Forest

and partners in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.

Users can obtain ECC through various behaviors in the ecosystem. On the

one hand, it can more effectively support the development of carbon

cycle ecology. On the other hand, it can also obtain economic benefits.

For example, users can get a certain amount of ECC every time they use

clean energy in our ecosystem. This part of ECC can be transformed into

trees through ECC human forest project to support national greening

construction. It can also invest to carbon exchange carbon bank as

voucher for transaction. In the same way, users can get ECC by pulling

new users into our ecosystem. Or users can also directly obtain ECC by

planting trees in ECC human forest, and then enter our ecology.

Specific Cycle as picture:

- 14 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
Our Pulling New Users Promotion Mechanism as picture:

There is no limit on the number of people when recommending friends

to buy ECC. Per user successfully recommending a new user, he can get a

10% direct reward of the recommended person's equal purchase amount,

according to the amount payment of the recommender. The recommender

can also get 10% of the division when pulling people to buy in future.

In order to maintain the sustainable development of ECC as a whole, the

following formula needs to be established, which will guarantee the

deflation of our whole ecosystem. The value of ECC will keep rising with

the continuous improvement of the ecology.

III. Industry Situation

1 Introduction to Carbon Emission

On February 11, 2019, a 2019 global carbon emission report is

released by International Energy Agency. It is pointed in the report that

the global energy related carbon dioxide emissions remains the same in

2019 after two years of growth and the total carbon emissions is about 33

billion tons, but the world economy grows by 2.9% in 2019.

The performance comes from the enlarging role of renewable energy

(mainly wind and solar), reduction in emissions from power generation in

developed economies and fuel conversion from coal to natural gas and

higher nuclear power generation. Besides, mild weather in some

developed countries and slowing economic growth in some emerging

markets this year makes a steep decline of the carbon emission volume of

electricity sector in developed economies.

- 18 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
Chart Global Carbon Emission Volume in 1990-2019

Developed economies’ emissions reductions in 2019 are roughly

offset by increased carbon emissions in other economies. Seen from the

chart above, the carbon emission volume in developed economies (EU,

America, Japan) still accounts for 1/3 of the sum in the world.

Seen from the global emission trend, the carbon emission volume in

the world is 200 million tons (Mt) reduced compared with that in 2018

with the reduction of 1.3%, which offsets the increase of the emission

volume of petroleum and natural gas. Developed economies reduce

emissions by 370 million tons (3.2%), and 85% of them comes from

electricity sector. Compared with 2018, there is milder weather in many

large economies in 2019, which composes great impact on the tendency

since it would reduce the emission volume of 150 million tons

approximately. It shall be also owed to the weak global economic growth


- 19 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
and the increase in emissions of major emerging economies such as India

could be slowed down.

Chart: Carbon Emission Change in the Main Areas in the World in

2018-2019

The emission tendency in 2019 shows that the transform of clean

energy is undertaking with the leadership of electricity sector. The

emission volume of electricity sectors in the world is 170 million tons

reduced with the range of decrease of 1.2%. The biggest decrease is in

developed economies since the carbon dioxide emissions in these

countries are currently at levels of the late 1980s (electricity demand fell

by a third at the time). International Energy Agency thinks the solar

photovoltaic will further increase the proportion of renewable energy

power generation.
- 20 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
Chart: IEA’s Prediction of Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation in 2000-2030

Seen from the regional carbon emission tendency: in 2019, the

average economic growth rate in developed economies is 1.7%, but total

emission of energy related CO2 falls by 3.2%. The emission reduction in

electricity industry is in the leading position, accounting for 36% of the

sum of carbon emission. In 2019, the average carbon emission intensity

of electric power decreases by nearly 6.5%, which is three times faster

than the average in the past decade. Seen from the absolute value, the

average carbon emission intensity per kWh in 2019 is 340 grams of

carbon dioxide, which is lower than all other power plants except the

most efficient gas power plants.

In developed economies, coal-fired power plants have lost nearly 15%

of their power generation, which shall be mainly owed to sustainable

growth of renewable energy, conversion of coal to gas fuel, growth of

- 21 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
nuclear energy and reduction of power demand. In 2019, the growth of

renewable power generation in developed economies has decreased 130

million tons of carbon emissions. The volume of the wind power

generation is the biggest, which is 12% increased than that in 2018. Solar

photovoltaic power generation is in the fastest growth, driving

renewable energy to account for nearly 28% of the total power

generation.

In developed economies, transfer from coal to gas power generation

reduces carbon emissions by 100 million tons. Especially in America. the

price of natural gas is the lowest in the history, so the emission reduction

of the transfer from coal to gas become more obvious. There is more than

50 million tons of nuclear power emission reduction in developed

economies, mainly Korea and Japan.

In 2019, the energy related carbon emissions in America are 4.8

billion tons, which is 140 million tons (2.9%) less than that in 2018, so it

is the highest reduction among all countries. Emissions in America have

fallen by nearly 100 million tons from their peak in 2000, and the country

reduces emissions the most in all countries. The 15% reduction of the

coal for power generation supports the overall decrease of emission in

America in 2019. Coal fired power plants face fiercer competition from

- 22 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
natural gas power generation. The benchmark natural gas price is 45%

lower than the 2018 level on average. Therefore, the share taken by

natural gas in power generation increases to 37%, which breaks through

the record. The summer and winter in 2019 are mild, so the demand of air

conditioners and heating machines is reduced, so does the overall power

demand.

In 2019, energy related carbon emissions of the EU (including the UK)

are 290 million tons with a decrease of 160 million tons and 5% range

of decrease compared with 2018. With the leadership of power industry,

the emission is 120 million tons reduced with the 12% of range of

decrease due to the addition of renewable energy and the transform from

coal to gas. In 2019, the coal-fired power generation in EU has fallen by

more than 25%, while gas-fired power generation has increased by nearly

15%, surpassing coal for the first time. Germany is the first country to

reduce emission in the EU. In 2019, the annual emission is 620 million

with the decrease of 8%, which is the best level since the 1950s. While

the present economic scale in Germany is 10 times of that in that time.

Due to the decrease of power demand, the renewable energy, especially

wind power generation (increase of 11%), while the coal fired power

generation unit’s power generation decreased by more than 25% year on

- 23 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
year. In 2019, the share of renewable energy in Germany exceeds 40%,

exceeding coal-fired power generation for the first time.

Britain: Because coal-fired power plants account for only 2% of total

power generation, the UK continues to vigorously develop

decarbonization. More projects are put into operation in the North Sea,

and offshore wind power production is expanding rapidly, which are

important triggers of emission reduction. In the country, renewable

energy provides about 40% of the electricity supply, and natural gas

supply is almost the same. The proportion of renewable energy would be

higher in the second half year. Wind, solar photovoltaic and other

energy sources generate more power than the sum of all fossil fuels in

the third quarter.

Japan: In 2019, energy related carbon emissions are decrease by

4.3% to be 1 billion and 300 million tons, which is the year with the

highest reduction since 2009. The decrease range of the emission of

electricity sector is the biggest since nuclear power production is 40%

increased for the recent resumption of nuclear power operations, so that

Japan could reduce the power generation from coal, gas and oil power

plants.

- 24 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
Others: In 2019, the real carbon emissions out of the developed

economies increased by nearly 400 million tons, and 80% of them are

from Asia. The coal demand in the area is continuously expanding to take

up more than 5% of energy use, so there is about 10 billion tons of

emissions.

In China, the emission is increased but it is gentle since it is mainly

affected by the slow economic growth and the increase of low-carbon

energy output. The renewable energy is expanding in China and 2019 is

also the first full year of operation of seven large nuclear reactors in

China.

In India, the emission increase is mild in 2019 and the carbon

emission of electricity sector is reduced slightly because the power

demand is basically stable. The powerful increase of renewable energy

has caused the first decline in coal-fired power generation since 1973.

The fossil fuel demand continues to grow in others sectors of economy in

India, especially transportation sector, so as to offset the decrease of

electricity sector. Boosted by strong coal demand, the emission in

Southeast Asia is increasing rapidly. Generally speaking, there is small

population and less countries in developed economies, but the carbon

emission takes up 1/3 of the sum of the carbon emission in the world.

- 25 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
Seen from the economic aggregate, per capita carbon emission, economic

capacity and other indicators, they shall be responsible for larger

emission reduction. China and India these two countries with huge

population and developing countries undertakes the major manufacturing

industries in the world and the carbon emission is increasing properly,

which shall be greatly contributed to the great development of renewable

energy in these two countries.

2 Situation of Global Carbon Trading Market

2.1 Background of Carbon Trading Market

Carbon trading means the emission right trading of all kinds of

greenhouse gases. It is a trading system created by United States to deal

with the climate change. Based on the carbon trading, it is derived with

financial derivatives related with the emission right, so as to push the

development of carbon financial market. The occurrence of carbon

trading market could be traced back to the United Nations Framework

Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) passed in the United Nations

Conference on Environment and Development in June, 1992. In the

conference, more than 150 countries confirm it to be the development

target in the future that greenhouse gas content in the atmosphere shall be

stabilized at an appropriate level to prevent severe climate change from

- 26 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
resulting in harm to human beings”. UNFCCC has been set up as a basic

framework of international cooperation to deal with the global climate

change and it has come to effect since March 21, 1994. Besides, there

would be conference of the parties (COP) annually. Until October 2009,

there have been 192 countries to pass the convention and there have been

total 15 conferences of the parties. Based on UNFCCC, Kyoto Protocol

(1997), Marrakesh Agreement Document (2001) aiming to push the

implementation, Delhi Declaration (2002), Montreal Road Map for

Climate Change Control (2005), Bali Roadmap (2007) and other

agreements and plans have been formed. Among these, the Kyoto

Protocol coming to effect in 2005 is the most powerful. The protocol

innovatively introduces the marketing mechanism to solve the

optimization distribution of “global climate” such rare “public item”,

which makes a legally binding quantitative restriction on the specific

emission reduction tasks of Annex 1 countries in UNFCCC in 2008-2012.

2.2 Carbon Trading Mechanism and Executing Institution

To achieve the long-term development target of low-carbon economy,

all countries need to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases through

low-carbon technology. However, there is certain difficulties to require

developed countries to make another breakthrough with the current

emission reduction technology in the recent period. Therefore, under the


- 27 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
situation with unmatured technical commercialization and huge pressure

of emission reduction, three supplementary “flexible mechanisms” are set

in Kyoto Protocol to help all countries to reduce the cost in achieving the

target of emission reduction, including emission trading mechanism (ET),

joint implementation mechanism (JI) and clean development mechanism

(CDM). These three mechanisms have contributed to the emergence of

the carbon trading mechanism including supply and demand cost, price

and other a series of influencing factors, so as to greatly push all economy

subjects to gain competition strength through innovative development

mode.

(One)Main content of “Flexible Mechanisms”

Emission trading mechanism means a trading in the appendix 1 of

UNFCCC, Assigned Amount Units (AAUs) among countries. The

so-called AAUs is the initial emission quota that can be allocated to the

countries according to their promises in Kyoto Protocol. Joint

implementation mechanism means an investment between countries (with

emission limits) on projects with emission reduction technologies and

emission reduction units (ERUs) as carriers. The investors could offset its

emission mission if the project reaches the requirement of emission

reduction with authentication. Clean development mechanism is similar

with the joint implementation mechanism, but the trading parties are only
- 28 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
involved with the countries in appendix 1 and the countries out of

appendix 1 (mainly the developing countries) and they have trading with

the certified emission reductions (CERs) as objective. The governments

of developed countries or private economic entity could gain the CERs by

purchasing or carrying out investment on greenhouse gas emission

reduction project in developing countries, so as to offset the emission

reduction obligation of the country. The three “flexible mechanisms” set

in Kyoto Protocol enable the emission reduction of greenhouse gases, the

invisible commodities, to be sold in the market with market mechanism,

which lays a foundation for the development of carbon trading market. In

the protocol, the contracting parties may adjust their emission constraints

in accordance with their own economic development needs. They could

reduce the cost of direct emission reduction by purchasing AAUS or

requiring ERUs from another country in the appendix 1 or purchasing

CERs from developing countries this emission right quota when they find

that there is too expensive to achieve the fixed emission reduction quota.

The design of “flexible mechanisms” would not only promote the such

rare resource as carbon emission right to be optimally allocated around

the world, and it also fix the contradiction between high growth and low

pollution and energy consumption in economic development, so that the

whole society could be built with the basis of balance and sustainability.

- 29 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
(Two)Relevant system and executing institution of carbon trading

market

1 UN international transaction log (IIL). IL is a central system of

global carbon trading registration. It links with the registration systems in

all countries with the EU emission trading system (CIL) as a recorder of

the release, transfer and cancellation of the emission right quota of all

countries (AAUs, CERs, etc.) to make sure that the emission units could

be transferred safely among countries.

2 National registration system. It is stipulated in Kyoto Protocol that

each contracting party must set up a national registration system to record

the emission quota, transfer and transaction in the country and the

domestic economic entities. At the same time, it is mutually linked

between the national registration system and UN international transaction

log for the convenience of the later to monitor the quota transfer among

all registration systems.

3 Joint implementation supervision committee (JISC). As a committee

to undertake the joint implementation of project. All projects must be

reviewed by JISC. The contracting meeting the qualification and

requirement could have transfer and purchase of ERUs with simpler

procedures; while the contracting parties not meeting the requirement

shall have a further inspection procedure before the implementation.

- 30 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
4 CDM executive board, (CDM EB). As a management center of

CDM in the world, CDM EB is responsible for stipulating policies,

registering projects, commissioning operating entity and approval and

issuing CERs, etc. The countries with the emission limits could invest

feasible CDM projects in developing countries and then the limits could

be offset when they register and gain the CERs issued by CDM EB.

2.3 International Carbon Trading Market System

(One) Market structure of international carbon trading market

According to the trading types, international carbon trading market

could be divided into the quota-based market and the project-based

market. 1. Quota-based market, this market is based on “limitation and

trading” mechanism, which means administrator stipulates the cap on

total greenhouse gas emissions in all regions and the members would be

distributed according to the quota with the restriction of mandatory

regulations. Under certain trading regulations, members could have

trading with other members with their own quota according to the

emission reduction cost, so as to reach the emission requirement with the

lowest cost through market trading means, which takes good care of the

environmental performance and the flexibility of trading. By far, there are

- 31 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
three levels in the quota-based market. First is the ET set in Kyoto

Protocol. All members have AAUs trading according to their emission

situation based on their promises. Second is the equal quota emission

market set by other countries out of the Kyoto Protocol, such as UK.

Third is a series of carbon trading market with voluntary trading set by

some international organizations, countries and enterprises. 2.

Project-based market, the market is adopted with the principle of

“benchmark and credit”. Buyers could can purchase the emission

reduction credit transaction amount from the project that has confirmed

the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. It means that the countries or

enterprises with emission quota limits provide capital, technology and

device support to developing countries through project investment (such

as projects below the baseline emission level or carbon sink projects) to

purchase certified greenhouse gas emission reduction list generated by a

project, so as to offset the emission reduction task in the protocol. The

market mainly includes joint implementation mechanism and clean

development mechanism. According to the classification of international

emission trading, CDM grade one market means the direct trading market

that developed countries purchase CERs from developing countries;

CDM grade two market means the trading market derived for such

emissions derivatives. CDM trading should be a forward transaction in

essence. The project has not been running when both parties sign the
- 32 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
contract. After signing the contract, both parties agree to purchase a

certain amount of carbon emission trading rights at a certain price at a

certain time in the future. Since the first social responsibility investment

fund was founded in 1970s, the financial tools promoting the sustainable

development of society have been innovated. Now, the idea successfully

matches the CDM grade two market, so there comes a carbon investment

fund. Beside setting grade one market in Kyoto Protocol, they build up a

carbon financial market with large capital scale and not limited by

international treaties, and they have huge harvest from the investment on

the grade two market of environmental project, which has been exceeding

the expectation set in the beginning of the protocol.

(Two) Participants of international carbon trading market

The participants of international carbon trading market could be

divided into suppliers, end users and brokers these three types. And it is

also involved with the enterprises or countries with or without emission

limits, developers of emission reduction projects, consultancies and

financial institutions, etc. The suppliers could be divided into two types.

First is the counties or economic individual with emission limits but their

initial quota is redundant, so they could sell out the redundant quota

through ET, JI or other voluntary or reluctant market. Second is the

economic entities without emission limits. They could gain economic


- 33 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
profit by selling certified emissions reductions to countries or

intermediaries with excessive emissions. The end users of emission right

means the economic entities facing with emission limits and the

participants of voluntary trading mechanism. They could purchase the

emission right quota or emission reduction units according to demand to

prevent punishment. Since the certified emission reduction units could

enter into the trading of grade market, so it would push the development

of project markets invisibly and it would be attractive to vast of

enterprises and brokers. In the brokers of grade market, financial

organizations play a critical role in improving market liquidity, enriching

product mix and providing hedging tools. For example, the carbon

financial unit (CFU) in world bank running within the framework of

DCM and II deems the carbon finance as a financial solution to climate

change. The service target is to reduce the cost of trading, so as to support

the sustainable development of society and it would benefit the

developing countries. The professional organization of UN, international

financial company (FC), mainly provides multilateral loans and equity

financing for private sector projects in developing countries.

(Three) Trading tools of international carbon trading

Currently, forward and options related with emission are the most

important trading tools in the carbon trading markets at all grades. The
- 34 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
ET market set in Kyoto Protocol mainly engages in the actuals, forward

and option trading of AAUs. The main trading objective of EU ETS is the

actuals, forward and option trading of EUAs; J market is for the trading

of ERUs-related products. The main product of grade one and two CDM

market is related with CERS. The voluntary market is for self-defined

quotas and VERs-related products. All of these products are the same in

emission reduction and their unit is “tons of carbon dioxide equivalent”.

Besides the basic products mentioned above, carbon credit would show

different characteristics of financial derivatives in various markets. These

derived tools are hedging and arbitrage for suppliers and demanders in

carbon emission right. By far, the main carbon financial derivatives are

insurance, guarantee, factoring, delivery guarantee of carbon emission

rights, monetization of carbon emission rights receivable and arbitrage

trading tools. The global trading of greenhouse gases emission right has

formed a special carbon financial market, including markets, institutions,

products, services and other factors. Due to the guiding position of carbon

trading market in the entire low-carbon economy and the huge potential

and strategic significance of carbon finance, many countries are actively

preparing the carbon trading system in their own countries. The carbon

market is a huge promoter for the optimization upgrading of real

economy.

2.4 Development of International Carbon Trading Market

(One) Overall scale of international carbon trading market

As an emerging commodity trading market, global carbon trading

market began to take shape in 2003 with rapid development status. In the

recent years, there has been a substantial growth in the volume and turn

volume of carbon. According to the data of world bank, the total trading

volume of global carbon market reaches 48. 1.1 billion tons in 2008,

which is better than the 704 million tons in 2005, increasing by 583%. In

2008, the sum of carbon market in the world reaches 126 billion 345

million dollars, which is better than the 10 billion 990 million dollars in

2005, increasing by 1049%. Currently, carbon trading market has been

the most potential commodity trading market in the world.

Two) Details of international carbon trading market

Seen from market structure, there have been three characters in the

global carbon trading structure since 2004. Firstly, the volume in

quota-based market based on EU ETS is higher than that in the

project-based market based on CDM. Secondly, EU ETS is the biggest

one in the emission trading system, and the volume and turn volume are

higher than those in other institution. Thirdly, the volume has been in

exponential growth since the CDM grade two market has been carried out,
- 36 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
from the 25 million tons in 2006 to 240 million tons in 2007 and to 1

billion 72 million tons in 2008. It could be found from the future analysis

of the global carbon trading market in 2008 that the turn volume of

quota-based market has been dominant in the sum of the market in 2008

with the volume of trade of 92 billion 859 million dollars, accounting for

the 7349% of the total volume in the market. The trading amount of

project-based market is 3348.6 billion dollars, accounting for 26.51% of

the total trading amount. Compared with that of 2007, the two

atmospheres are highlighted in the carbon trading market in 2008. Firstly,

the grade two market engaging in the actuals and forward trading of

CERs with the basis of CDM is in a rapid development and the trading

amount of the market is 26 billion 277 million in 2008, which is nearly

five times of that in 2007. Secondly, regional emission reduction initiative

(RGGD) in America and emission right trading market (AAUs) have been

developed and grown gradually from zero.

(Three) Price change of international carbon market

The demand and supply of global carbon trading market decides the

price of carbon trading, and it is also affected by so many factors, such as

international system, economic environment and whether all countries

take cooperative measures or not. By far, carbon trading market mainly

completes the trading with forward contract. There are two ways to
- 37 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
formulate the price. First is the fixed pricing, which means to deliver

carbon emission rights at agreed price in the future. Second is the floating

pricing, which means to attach the floating price linked to the quota price

based on the lowest price. When the emission reduction cost is higher

than the price of all kinds of emission reduction units, the economic

entities with the emission limits would actively purchase emission

reduction units in grade market, or participating in CDM and carrying

trading through the form of investment to mee the requirement.

Meanwhile, brokers would also enter the market for the short-term

arbitrage, and they would have trading positively to gain for the price

difference. The dealers would gain much more economic profits when the

price differences would be larger, and the demanding volume of all kinds

of emission reduction units would be increased. In a word, the price of

emission right price in carbon trading market has been increasing in the

past few years. The price of the main objective of EU ETS, EUAs, has

been stabilized between 20 and 30 dollar per tons since 20005; however,

according to the latest data, the price of EUAs declines since September

2008 and it falls below $15 / ton in February 2009, which should be owed

to the less production activity in all economic subjects for the

international financial crisis, so the demand of emission right index

would be reduced accordingly. At the same time, a lot of brokers for

short-term arbitrage sell out the EUAs, so the market price has been
- 38 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
lower and lower. In the project-based market, the price shows an overall

upward trend. The price of ERUs in grade one market of CDM, CERs

and II market has been in a tendency of increase since 2005. Since 2006,

the price of CER in grade two market of CDM is about 17-30 dollars per

ton. It should be noted that there is a price convergence between EUAs

and CERs gradually when the CDM is docked with EU ETS in 2008. In

the post-crisis era, the trading volume of the global carbon trading market

in 2009 has gradually stabilized after the continuous decline at the end of

2008, but the price is still lower.

IV.Advantages of the Project

1 Effectively Solve the Reliability Problem of Escrow

The third-party custody (ESCROW) means the buyer pays the

payment to a third party other than the buyer and the seller, and the third

party would notify the buyer that it has received the payment for goods

after and inform the seller to delivery goods after receiving the payment,

then the seller could deliver the goods to buyer; the third party would

transfer the payment to seller once it is notified by the buyer that it is

satisfied with the goods delivered by seller. As for exporters, there would

be certain protection in receiving payment for the participation of the

third party; however, the payment of the third party depends on the proof

- 39 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
of the importer’s satisfaction with the goods, so it is restricted by

importer to some extent. As for cost, the fee of ESCROW would be very

high. Seen from the current situation, it should be 0.85%-6%, so the

inexpensive goods would be so expensive and the expenditure would be

negotiated by the buyer and the seller.

While our ECC would set and run legal person company in financial

field, so as to increase trust through legal person. Then, the trust can be

increased by attracting investment to expand the assets and expand the

retained assets. Finally, bookkeeping is used for transaction inflow and

withdrawal of assets, and procedural operation is promoted to avoid

withdrawal problems.

2 Efficient Settlement and Low Cost

After Kyoto Protocol coming to effect, the global carbon trading

market is in a rapid expansion. The carbon trading volume has been

increasing from 1.6 billion tons in 2006. According to the prediction of

UN world bank, the carbon trading market would surpass petroleum

market to be the first market in the world. It is just a matter of time for

carbon emission right to be a bulk commodity in the world.

The current currency is inconvenient in international trading since the

large transactions are largely controlled by the US and there is high fees.

Hence, we would make settlement with the cryptocurrency ECC based on


- 40 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
blockchain to have a free trading of carbon emission right. It also

supports the rapid charging and transfer. The operation cost of trading

commission is close to zero.

3 Effectively Solve the Issue of Carbon Emission Right

There are some common problems in carbon emission. 1. Carbon

verification market is in short supply and the verification ability is

verified. The verification mission shall be completed in time. The current

verification institutions and verification personnel are insufficient and the

ability are verified. At the same time, there are differences in experience

and sense of responsibility between different verification agencies and

different inspectors in the same verification agency, so it would affect the

correctness and equality of the verification. 2. Carbon verification

guidance is imperfect and the standard is not unified. The industry

division in the present verification guidance does not meet the actual

situation of enterprises, and the calculation formula and actual process

flow of enterprises are unmatched. It is difficult for some enterprises to

meet the requirements of carbon emission calculation formula in the

guidelines, or the measurement method is inconsistent with the

requirements of the guidelines. 3. The fee source of carbon verification is

unclear and the verification independence is hard to ensured. By far, the

verification fee for the historic emission of enterprises are paid by local
- 41 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
finance; while the verification fee for the annual emission of enterprises

are paid by local finance or the enterprises themselves. The independence

of the institutions shall be maintained to some extent if it is paid by local

finance; while those paid by enterprises would affect the independence

and the equality of the results. The verification institutions are selected by

government procurement or bidding. The cost review mechanism has not

yet been established, and the benchmark for fee collection is not

systematic, so it is apt to occur rent-seeking. 4. The supervision system of

carbon verification is imperfect and the verification industry association

has not been found. the supervision and management of the verification

institutions are specified is clarified in the relevant measures for the

management of the third-party verification institutions of Chinese carbon

trading, but the department obligation has not been clarified and it is

roughly emphasized that it shall be undertaken by National Development

and Reform Commission and relevant departments. The regulatory

system of third-party carbon verification institutions is not perfect, and

verification institutions of different scales are flooding the market. There

has been no relevant qualification consultation or certification standards,

so it is impossible to distinguish the verification ability and market credit

of the verification institutions through qualification; meanwhile, there is

also lack of industry association to make up the supervision system. 5.

The legislation of carbon trading shall be enhanced and the legal system
- 42 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
shall be united. The existing legal documents are in weak legal effect.

And the legal system of the pilot areas has not yet risen to the national

level and reality of non-pilot areas and other regions has been out of the

consideration, so that the cross-regional practice and reexamination of

verification institutions are restricted to affect the smooth starting of

carbon market.

While our ECC would work with UN affiliated organizations,

governments and related enterprises to positively carry out publicity and

marketing to improve the population of participants. Besides, our carbon

emission right trading is based on trading among enterprises. With the

credible system and public guarantee, we would really promote the

transactions and commissioned sales among the parties by working with

marketing these advance measures, so as to effectively solve all kinds of

difficulties in traditional carbon emission.

4 Strong Technical Support

We have a development team with powerful technology. Led by vice

president of Software Industry Association, the development team has

participated in the blockchain project in Korean government and we have

applied blockchain to commercial use. The core team has developed

multiple blockchain platforms and the team has gone through the whole

process of the blockchain products.


- 43 -
—Reliable Global Carbon Trading System—
In the specific business plate:

In world carbon exchange, ERC20 is used as the token of operation in

the early period and the main network is developed. When the main

network is launched, there would be a switch, so that there would be

purposeful solution to the exclusive problems in our trading and there is

insurance in stability.

In world carbon bank, it would be strictly required according to the

standard of traditional financial institutions and services, so as to build up

a carbon bank system with charging and withdrawal based on the

blockchain technology and the skeleton of traditional bank system, which

would make users feel good in the sense of experience and stability.

top priority to provide phase services globally and ensure their full

security.

•Marketing and promoting: As a comprehensive profitable ecology

platform, ECC has a great overlap with the existing platforms and other

members. The short-term massive drainage could equip ECC with a rapid

growth, so the marketing and publicity are very important. There are

teams and expert consultants with abundant experience in the world.

Besides, there are vast of publicity resource and partnership, and there

would be a large number of preferential policies for the platform’s initial
