These credits will have a tradable value and will require energy producing companies to either purchase them, or trade them against less than freindly production methods to keep the production of carbon down. The producer who has high carbon outputs will need to buy credits which will increase his production costs while the carbon friendly producer will be able to sell his credits which will reduce his production costs and make his units cheaper. The aim is to force the high carbon producers to make improvements which will reduce overall production costs and be a little more friendly to the planet.
