===Introduction into the Carbon Market===
==Introduction into the Carbon Market==
The basic principle of carbon markets is that companies have a limited right to emit greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The company can use these rights to emit itself or they sell their rights to an another company which has not enough emissions rights. In the consequence companies which have a very clean production can make additional money with the selling of their emissions rights. This is the central point where criminals see a way to make some money with the theft of emissions rights.

I think a very challenging part of the writing process is to find good and useable Sources. I had not thought that that will take so much time.

Another thing is that it is not easy to find the right topic and to focus the case study on this topic. Many projects fail because the requirements are not really worked off. Finally I am not really sure if I have get the right focus in my work. On one side you will bring many different views and aspects on the topic but on the other side do you get superficial and don’t show the profound information and show not enough details about the several arguments of the focused topic.

About the permission trading learned I that it’s not easy to implement such a system in a short time and to be sure that much of the factors has been concerned. As the theft of permissions show us, can criminals find a way to use holes in the secure of the system to find a way to steal permission and sell them on the own account.

The next point is that we have implemented the scheme to reduce the climate change and to sustain our environment. And I am not sure if we get acceptable results with the actual implementation of the system. So it is reasonable to verify the basics of the system and to compare them with the requirements of such a system.
