By Mathew Carr
Sept. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Patrick Birley, former chief
executive officer of the European Climate Exchange, will
probably accept a post next month at the London Stock Exchange,
the Carbon Finance website reported.
Birley's role may be linked to the stock market's plans to
start a clearing house that wouldn't be directly related to
carbon trading, the London-based news service reported
without saying how it obtained the information. Birley declined
to comment today when contacted by Bloomberg.
The Intercontinental Exchange Inc. completed its purchase
in July of Climate Exchange Plc, which owned London-based ECX,
the world's biggest carbon market, the report said.
