Price of carbon credits may rebound this year

The price of carbon credits is likely to double this year, due to a recovery in demand from the European Union.

Indian analysts estimate it would almost double before the end of 2012. Currently, a CER unit for near-month delivery on the European Energy Exchange is quoted at 3.55 euros.
