This paper presents an approach to personal carbon allowance trading with RFID tags or barcodes. It introduces RFID tags as certificates for the rights to claim carbon allowances so that it enables buyers, including end-consumers, that buy products or services with carbon allowances to hold and claim these allowances. It also supports the simple intuitive trading of carbon allowances by trading RFID tags coupled to the allowances. The approach was constructed and evaluated with real customers and real carbon allowances in a real supply chain. It can also be used to encourage industries and homes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
