THE SECTOR MUST ACHIEVE AMBITIOUS DECARBONISATION TARGETS AT INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN LEVEL

Environmental markets aim to reduce emissions or accelerate the energy transition in an efficient way. There are two types of markets, compliance and voluntary.

Companies will need to access the compliance market and purchase emission allowances to meet their obligations under the European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). Planning and knowledge are key to optimising participation in this market.

For companies wishing to take on a higher level of commitment, there are many options available, ranging from simple to comprehensive solutions to achieve net-zero by 2050. Among others, they can calculate their carbon footprint and offset it by taking part in voluntary markets where carbon credits generated by verified projects can be purchased, or buy guarantees of origin.

These initiatives enhance the corporate image, are highly valued by customers and appreciated by society.

HOW CAN WE HELP?
Execution of emission allowance trades

Shipowners have alternatives to buying the EUA/UKA on the spot, such as call options, average price purchases and/or forward purchases.

Portfolio strategy development

Analysing the company’s exposure to CO2, devising the purchase plan and ensuring its proper execution and management is key to minimising the impacts on the company.

Market Opportunity Information

Daily updates, weekly outlooks and monthly dossiers for comprehensive carbon intelligence.

Emissions monitoring

Emission monitoring places an additional workload on shore-based personnel. The entry of new vessels into the fleet (purchased or chartered) means meeting these obligations.

Up-to-date and personalised training

Customised courses on market functioning, auctions, price formation, exchange platforms, portfolio management and CO2 accounting and taxation.

Specialised bulletins on broadcasting law

Guarantees of origin

Guarantees of Origin (GoOs) are a voluntary system that certifies the renewable origin of electricity. Biomethane, biogas and green hydrogen GdOs will start operating in 2023.
