Carbon credits and carbon markets are a component of national and international attempts to mitigate the growth in concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs). One carbon credit is equal to one tonne of carbon dioxide, or in some markets, carbon dioxide equivalent gases. Carbon trading is an application of an emissions trading approach. Greenhouse gas emissions are capped and then markets are used to allocate the emissions among the group of regulated sources.
The burning of fossil fuels is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, especially for power, cement, steel, textile, fertilizer and many other industries which rely on fossil fuels (coal, electricity derived from coal, natural gas and oil). The major greenhouse gases emitted by these industries are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), etc., all of which increase the atmosphere's ability to trap infrared energy and thus affect the climate.
The mechanism was formalized in the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement between more than 170 countries, and the market mechanisms were agreed through the subsequent Marrakesh Accords. The mechanism adopted was similar to the successful US Acid Rain Program to reduce some industrial pollutants.
Whether it is called "emissions trading", carbon credits, or cap and trade, the practice amounts to buying and selling the right to pollute. It is an administrative solution to pollution and doesn't, in the final analysis, prevent pollution at all.
Before the reader jumps to the conclusion that I am a pro-business, pro-polluter, I would like to present my credentials. I have been taking an engineering approach to pollution control for forty years. I have designed and built both air and water control systems that have successfully reduced water usage by 75%, air pollution by 99.99%. I was invited by the Global Environmental & Technology Foundation and the USEPA to participate in a seminar in 2002 that was entitled "Real World Experiences with Environmental Systems to Shape Policy and Operational Decisions." I have also served on the Indiana Governor's Clean Manufacturing Technology and Safe Materials Committee.
As far as emissions trading is concerned, what does it accomplish? In a word, nothing. It is like having the neighbour justify driving a big gas guzzling SUV because he can afford to pay the fellow down the street who drives an Escort. The net result is no savings in actual gasoline usage. It is simply administrative sleight-of-hand.

Pollution of the environment is an issue that is always on the headlines everywhere across the world .carbon and carbon elements pollute the environment they pollute the air ,and even the soil ,
There have been various attempts to minimise or reduce the rate of pollution .carbon credits is one of the internagional attempts to curb effects of carbon including the effects of the agreen house
Experts say that on carbon credit can reduce a tone of carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide equivalent gases
