PetroChina gets green signal from the UN CDM Board to trade its carbon indicators equaling a little less than 1 million tons. The credits, acquired though a nitrous oxide (N2O) CDM project by Liaoyang Petrochemical, are a part of Chinas biggest carbon deal.
The environmental impact of nitrous oxide is around 310 times more than that of CO2.
