'I am very pleased to announce that Camco has added 14.2m tonnes to our
contracted project portfolio. The portfolio has now grown 15.4% since year end
(102.9m) and is in line with our expectations.
Since our last update, the addition of Alan Ho to our China team has further
strengthened our operational capacity in that market. Alan brings highly
relevant industrial experience to the management team.
The carbon market continues to evolve and we are well placed to take advantage
of market developments in the United States, Canada and Australia. We feel these
developments are likely to result in an increase in demand for carbon credits in
the longer term, and a regulatory framework post 2012.'
