1. The document discusses carbon emissions and carbon credits in Iraq, including tools and software to help companies track and reduce emissions. 2. It outlines four work axes: reducing carbon emissions, managing methane reductions, software solutions, and carbon offsets/markets. 3. Carbon credits represent the right to emit one ton of carbon dioxide and can be traded. Investing in reducing emissions through carbon credits generates financial returns and helps transition to a low-carbon economy.

1. In the context of the global challenge facing the climate, is the challenge of (global warming)
and the international quest to regulate the volume of carbon emitted into the atmosphere.
Iraq needs a correct vision of the issue of carbon emissions, as managing carbon emissions is not
a technical issue but rather a logistical and operational problem and is a problem that can solve
through the development of the approach and model and the modernization of systems that serve
to reduce carbon emissions.
Tools, ability, and experience are needed to help productive companies in the (Downstream,
Upstream) sectors show, reduce and facilitate emission reduction, which can be available
through (software solutions) that help companies identify, track and reduce their emissions.
Develop and invest in carbon credits resulting from these cuts.
The work axes are as follows:
1. Carbon emission reductions.
2. Management of methane reductions.
3. Software solutions for managing emissions data.
4. Carbon offsets and carbon markets.
Carbon Credit
Carbon credit or carbon credit is a general term for any certificate or commercial permit that
represents the right to emit carbon dioxide or other mass of greenhouse gases with a carbon
dioxide equivalent to one ton of carbon dioxide gas.
SWOT
This analysis method performs to diagnose the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats of the proposed idea as follows:
1. Strengths:
2. The urgent and complex challenge is to reduce methane emissions (Iraq reduces gas
flaring), which helps streamline environmental commitments, creating opportunities for
new revenue streams by monetizing carbon credit.
2. This measure aims to allow market mechanisms to drive (industrial and commercial
processes); in the direction of a specific approach to reducing carbon emissions, it is different
from those used when there is no cost to emitting carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into
the atmosphere.
3. Projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions generate credit, and this approach is used to
finance carbon reduction schemes between trading partners and around the world.

2. 1. The financial return is achieved from spending grants on other aspects, such as
(renewable energy) and helping heavy industry projects reduce carbon emissions.
1. weakness:
1. Purchasing high-quality carbon credits is an effective way to contribute to the transition
to a climate-safe, low-carbon world. it may seem complicated – especially the answer to
what seems to be a simple question, "How much do I have to pay for carbon credit?"
Doesn't each carbon balance stand for one ton of carbon dioxide that is forbidden from
entering the atmosphere? Considering the significant differences between the projects it
issues.
2. Lack of a database of the quantities of carbon emissions, especially those resulting from
gas combustion.
1. Opportunities:
2. For example, the price of permits in the EU carbon market has risen again to more than
€100 per ton, approaching record levels of more than €105 in February as the prospect of
higher activity and industrial firms demanding allows increases.
3. The European Union is putting in place a system called the Emissions Trading System
(ETS), which is intended for EU countries to force manufacturers, energy companies, and
airlines to pay for every ton of carbon dioxide they emit into the atmosphere as part of
Europe's efforts to meet its climate goals.
4. Today's carbon market is driven by supply and demand, regardless of the project's
implications in terms of long-term feasibility.
There is a growing global awareness of the real value, such as a stable climate and sustainable
ecosystems, and the preservation of social systems such as improved health. Swiss retailer Coop
sets its internal carbon price at 150 Swiss francs (about US$150) to develop innovation and
invest in Gold Standard-certified emission reduction activities. Microsoft includes a line in its
budget reflecting the cost of its carbon emissions, which then translates into the carbon fees it
contributes to the Carbon Investment Fund, creating new capital for sustainability initiatives.
These efforts include reducing.
1. Internal emissions as well as supporting projects outside of their operations through the
purchase of carbon credit.
2. The model based on calculating carbon balances should consider the costs of project
implementation and ensure continuity in projects.
3. Building a database on the volume of carbon emissions issued by the activities of the oil
sector helps the identification of expected carbon stocks.
4. Carbon credits can be invested through ETFs, an investment that is accessible and anyone
can add to the portfolio. However, there are risks to investing in carbon credits in any
way, and it is important to understand them.
1. Threats:

3. 1. Market value: With the maturation of the global environmental markets for the carbon market
(currently voluntary), which may be mandatory in the future, which calls for starting to deal with
carbon from an economic perspective based on building a clear database for the level of carbon
emissions.
2. Find the value. This is done through the development of a specific mechanism to be agreed
upon. The price per ton (USD/ton) is figured out.
1. Before you invest in carbon credit as with any investment, it is important to understand
what you get when you put money into carbon credit. Because these investments are new,
limited information is available, as well as limited investment options, especially in the
oil and gas industry.
2. While it is certainly possible to have a financial return on investing in carbon credits,
some of these risks are that carbon credit ETFs are offered within a specific market
through companies in Europe, California, and parts of the eastern United States
(according to available information).
