The event is expected to provide vast business opportunities for private operators and public sectors around the world in greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions as the carbon market potential will continue to grow exponentially in Asia with its economic growth, said Andrei Marcu, IETA president and chief executive officer, Saturday at a press conference in Singapore.
