Holdings - Clean Air Capital

Clean Air Capital is a boutique financial services house offering a range of services to clients in the emerging greenhouse gas emissions market – from trading carbon credits through to the development of compliance strategies. This new greenhouse gas emissions market is estimated to be worth €3bn by the end of 2005.

There are many organisations whose industrial activity is a source of carbon emissions. All markets are driven by supply and demand and the carbon emissions market will be no different. Organisations producing a smaller volume of carbon emissions than their allowance can sell their excess allowance. Organisations producing a higher volume than their allowance can buy additional allowance. Trading carbon credits will become a key component to the financial activities of carbon emitting organisations.

Working in conjunction with Charlemagne Capital, Clean Air Capital is establishing a range of investment funds in the CO2 market. The specific purpose of the funds will be to acquire assets which can be traded in various emissions markets. Initially the focus will be on the European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme but in the future, will broaden to other emerging greenhouse gas markets.

Clean Air Capital is structured as a holding company with the following Directors:
Chairman: Jim Mellon
Director: Denham Eke

And an Operating Company with the following management team:
Conor O'Prey is Managing Director
George Krichauff is Head of Trading Operations
George Meyrick is Head of Legal and Compliance
