SAN DIEGO, February 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

As the California/Quebec Carbon Market develops, stakeholders have becoming increasingly interested in what the dynamics of the Cap-and-Trade program will look like post-2020. In the authoritative ICIS 2030 Forecast for California Carbon Allowances Report, we explore how different scenarios of supply and demand will alter the price of California Carbon Allowances (CCAs) through 2030.

Subscribe to ICIS Carbon Market Analytics to learn about potential paths for the California cap-and-trade system post-2020, explore key drivers for emissions in the next decades, and understand the Californian carbon price impact of regulatory or economic changes.  

Highlights of this report:

• ICIS expects CCA prices to stay close to the price floor in the upcoming years
• An ambitious target and program structure through 2030 could lift prices significantly
• ICIS expects prices to hit $50 per tonne by 2030 - depending on the level of ambition of the 2030 target and associated policies, prices could range from $30 to $70
• Behavior of market participants is key to assess when prices will lift off the floor price
• Subsequently, changes in price should alter behaviour and fundamental emissions
• ICIS expects a shortage of offsets through 2020 and beyond
