The world market for trading greenhouse gas emissions doubled last year to about $70 billion, according to World Bank figures. China accounts for 73 percent of the clean development mechanism (CDM) projects - a major carbon trading business.

The deal between Myland Group, a chemical plant based in Jiangsu province, and the World Bank is one example.
