Financial and operating overview
CCEC is a provider of brokerage, advisory and research services relating to
carbon credits. Incorporated in Jersey, with operations in China, CCEC is
estimated to be the largest source of carbon credits. The Company works with
businesses and projects that have the capacity to generate carbon credits, and
assists the project owner in securing, identifying buyers for, and selling on,
those carbon credits.
In the six months to 30 June 2008 the Company achieved profits after tax of
GBP828,567 (2007 GBP931,518) on revenue of GBP980,191 (GBP1,027,161), a slight
reduction on 2007 as we adjusted our internal approval process, with contracts
signed only after the completion of on site due diligence, which resulted in a
delay of some, and abandoning of other, small projects.
Since the beginning of the year, 25 new contracts have been signed exclusively
by Beijing Changjiang River International Holding ("CRIH"), the alliance of
CCEC, totalling an estimated 16 million tonnes of carbon credits which CCEC
will advise on up to 2012. This brings the total number of contracts to 83,
with total contracted tonnes of 113 million to 2012.
To date, the Designated National Authority of the Chinese Government has issued
Letters of Approval under the Clean Development Mechanism for 15 renewable
energy projects being developed by China CDM's clients, totalling 17.33 million
tonnes of carbon credits to 2012. Three further projects, representing 5.5
million tonnes of carbon credits to 2012, were also recently validated.
Earlier this year we raised an additional GBP10 million of capital via the
issue of new shares to provide capital to expand the business. Together with
the GBP5 million raised at the end of last year, it puts us in a strong
position to win new projects.
Outlook
The new projects are in a range of industries, including forestry, waste heat
recovery, large and medium-sized hydropower projects, , diversifying the
Company's customer base and range of operations as we continue to expand the
business.
Through cooperation with key energy companies in China, we expect to continue
to have access to high quality CDM resources in hydropower, wind power, natural
gas, biomass and other clean energy generation sectors, and maintain our
leading position in Asia's CDM industry.
