Ukraine's pipeline operator Ukrtransgaz will auction 9.8 million greenhouse gas Emission Reduction Units, or ERUs, this week, according to the First Independent Exchange, which trades energy commodities.
Ukrtransgaz, a subsidiary of Naftogaz Ukrainy, is offering 9.8 million tons of ERUs with a starting price of a 60 percent discount to the price of United Nations Certified Emission Reduction offsets at the First Independent Exchange on Feb. 24, the Kiev-based bourse said Wednesday.
Ukraine was suspended from emissions trading in October after the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change secretariat found flaws in the country's estimates of its greenhouse gas emissions before 2008.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
