The voluntary carbon market experienced further growth in 2007, and experts predict the pattern to be repeated through 2008. Yet this rapid expansion of the market has not been without its difficulties. As the number of consumers grow, so too does their awareness of the opportunities and pitfalls in this exciting and innovative market. 2007 saw the establishment of several standards, registries and other market mechanisms in a bid to bring credibility and transparency to the market. A year on, have these initiatives achieved their purpose, and is the market really providing the consumers with what they want?
