Since January 1st 2005, some 12,000 large industrial
plants in the EU have been able to buy and sell permits
to release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The
so-called Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) enables companies
exceeding individual CO2 emissions targets to buy allowances
from ‘greener’ ones.
Industrial companies need to demonstrate that they
have a robust strategy in place for operating in a
carbon constrained world, as well as clear plans to
manage both commercial risks and compliance aspects
of the EU-ETS.
Our services include the strategy implementation,
the purchase/sale of C02 allowances and green certificates.
To give the best advices to our customers, we have
gathered and compiled a number of data needed to understand
how the market will develop.
For the CO2 allowances we execute following
steps :
- to identify the tons of CO2 below or above the
client’s
allocaled quotas;
- to identify projects
at client’s site and projected productions
plans;
- to identify the possibilities
of transfer to other plants within the group;
- to understand the market development
and the balance of market shortage or excess;
- to
develop a strategy to sell or buy the CO2
allowances;
- to execute all transactions.
For the renewable certificates (green, white …)
we execute following steps :
- to identify the costs for the client;
- to identify
the opportunities to buy those certificates;
- to
identify the potential renewable projects (Cogeneration,
Biomass, Windmills, …);
- to execute studies to analyze the
viability of green projects;
- to manage the
implementation of such green projects.
