Bloomberg New Energy Finance supports its clients as they navigate the Global, European, North American and Australian carbon markets. While the value of emission rights traded throughout the world in 2010 reached $120bn, current schemes are in a state of flux and we do not yet know if or when plans to implement cap-and-trade in North America or Australia will come to fruition. Clients use our regular market commentary, robust forecasting tools and objective research to get to grips with the big questions in the carbon markets and devise profitable investment and trading strategies.
EU ETS
The EU ETS is an environmental market on an unprecedented scale, in the middle of a period of considerable uncertainty: from the EU emission reduction target and the impact of new sectors joining the scheme from 2012 to the auctioning calendar and eligibliity of international credits. And all this is happening as we emerge from the worst economic shock in decades. In this context, Bloomberg New Energy Finance clears away the fog and explains what companies need to know to best exploit this carbon market and comply with their obligations in the most cost-effective way.
Global
With less than two years to go before the end of the Kyoto period, the next binding global climate treaty remains a dot on the horizon. Thus the future of the UN Clean Development Mechanism and Joint Implementation is unclear. And we do not yet know which project types and countries will be eligible from 2013 in the European Union Emission Trading Scheme – the biggest confirmed source of demand for carbon credits. Bloomberg New Energy Finance helps clients to devise profitable trading strategies and explains what they need to know to best exploit the Global carbon market.
North America
With carbon legislation being considered at all levels of government across North America many companies find themselves facing either a new set of challenges or being presented with real opportunities. Bloomberg New Energy Finance supports its clients as they build their business by providing the most comprehensive and detailed analysis of factors affecting the development of US and Canadian emissions markets and the future of carbon prices across the region.
Australia
Climate politics in Australia are never dull: 2009-10 saw a bipartisan commitment to emission trading collapse and the government shelve its Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. But momentum is once again building towards a federal carbon price: whether the government’s plans become reality will mostly depend on whether it can reach agreement with the Greens over issues including international offsets and industry compensation. Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s specialists in Sydney support their clients with the most comprehensive analysis of factors affecting the development of the Australian emissions market and the future price of domestic allowances.
