GEORGETOWN, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Guyana, which has jumped
into the forefront of offshore oil exploration, believes its
inland forests could tap carbon markets and become more
profitable than current mining and agriculture, Vice President
Bharrat Jagdeo said on Wednesday.
Selling carbon credits could generate a $4 billion to $5
billion annual market for the country, Jagdeo told an energy
conference, citing a study by consultancy McKinsey & Company.
