NEW YORK, May 6 /PRNewswire/ --

Imtiaz Ahmad, Executive Director of Morgan Stanley's Carbon Trading group will present on the infrastructure of carbon trading in an interactive workshop setting outlining the mechanisms currently set in place and compare the pros and cons of alternative trading strategies and products. Other workshop leaders include Shawn Burns, CEO of Carbon Credit Corp, Milo Sjardin, Head of North America at New Carbon Finance, Tina Reine, Vice President, Carbon Markets at JP Morgan Chase, and Jeffrey Fort, Partner at Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP.

Some of the leading experts on Carbon Trading including Kjell Olav Kristiansen of Point Carbon, Blake Shaefer of Stark Investments, Martin Whittaker of Mission Point Capital, Rob McAndrew of Chicago Climate Exchange, Karl Rabago, Director of AES, and Graeme Martin of Shell Energy North America among others will present American Investors with an analysis on the recent developments and opportunities in emissions trading and carbon investment strategies at a conference scheduled for June 23-25th in New York.

Carbon trading in the US has grown tremendously over the past years, and it is set to continue to expand even more so over the next decade. The latest analysis by New Carbon Finance shows that the United States will be home to a US$1 trillion carbon emission market by 2020 if federal and state policymakers continue on their current path towards a comprehensive "cap-and-trade" program that is confined to domestic trading only.

This senior-level forum will stir discussions between the leaders of Investment Banks, Hedge Funds, Private Equity Funds, Mutual Funds, Carbon Traders and Brokers, Heads of Energy and Utilities Industries, Heads of Global Environmental Exchanges, Carbon Credit Aggregators, Experts in Environmental Policy, Emissions and Carbon Trading Advisors, and Legal Experts in Environmental Policy and Law.

Attendees at the 2nd Carbon Trading conference will benefit by hearing from the industry's leading companies and experts on how to prepare for the latest development of regulation and changes in legislation, gain the necessary insight to forecast future prices, and find short- and long-term investment strategies.
