EU ETS support for smart Airlines
 

From the start of 2012, emissions from all domestic and international flights that arrive at or depart from an airport in the European Union are covered by the EU Emissions Trading System. In addition to the 27 EU Member States, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme for aviation covers Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein. The European Trading System is a cap-and-trade market mechanism intended to tackle global warming and the largest companies-based scheme around the world.

The inclusion of the aviation sector in the EU ETS poses major challenges to airlines but also creates opportunities to achieve competitive advantages.  A steep learning curve will be needed to limit costs and to maximize potential benefits.

Our support includes the development and implementation of efficient trading strategies, legal and fiscal advice, marginal abatement costs curves, advice on purchasing and selling of emission allowances, swaps, forward trading, futures, call and put options, counterparty risk, escrow, clearing, settlement, collateral loans and combinations of different instruments.

We provide a complete highly effective and efficient emissions trading management service for airlines from executing trades at the lowest market price to the development and implementation of more complex trading strategies.

Our services include regular online sessions to explain best approaches and opportunities, including arbitrage and other no risk transactions.

We combine the expertise of  leading experts in carbon trading,
the EU Emissions Trading System and fuel efficiency management in the aviation sector with a large network of exchanges, brokers, investors, developers and banks.  

Our online courses give a comprehensive overview of all aspects of the EU ETS with a specific focus on the financial and trading aspects of the emissions trading scheme.

We organise regular webinars and on-line meetings with officials, services providers and experts in the different fields of the EU ETS to give our clients the opportunity to better understand the market, potential market opportunities and future developments.

We leverage the purchasing power of our clients to obtain the best market conditions and to develop new carbon instruments with brokers, exchanges and banks.

Large and medium sized airlines but also smaller operators in the EU ETS can benefit from our large network in the carbon market and from our leveraged buying power to buy additional emission allowances at the best prices on the market or to sell or swap aviation allowances (aEUAs or EUAAs).
