English translation:carbon credits (an umbrella term that covers VCUs - voluntary carbon units)

Notes to answerer
Asker: Гуглится то оно гуглится, но не так, как надо. Rubico, Из Ваших ссылок №1 - не работает, №2 - скорее, unit здесь это агрегат, а не единица; № 3 - вообще нет упоминания "сarbon unit", №4 Russian Registry of Carbon Units - speaks for itself; и №5 EU set for purchase of more carbon units -- кроме как в заголовке больше нигде не проходит, в тексте же используется 'carbon credits'. Другое дело Voluntary Carbon Units.

Assigned amount units (AAUs)


Explanation:
Under the Kyoto Protocol, the 'caps' or quotas for Greenhouse gases for the developed Annex 1 countries are known as Assigned Amounts and are listed in Annex B.[6] The quantity of the initial assigned amount is denominated in individual units, called Assigned amount units (AAUs), each of which represents an allowance to emit one metric tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent, and these are entered into the country's national registry.

Probably this glossary may be of use

Example sentence(s):
  • n Assigned Amount Unit (AAU) is a tradable 'Kyoto unit' or 'carbon credit' representing an allowance to emit greenhouse gases comprising one metric tonne of carbon dioxide equivalents calculated using their Global Warming Potential
  • VI.) CLIMATE CHANGE - Opportunities in Ukraine for International Energy Investors - Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus Initiate Carbon Market - Ukraine Offers Its Carbon-Emission Permits to World Bank - Ukraine’s AAU Black Hole
