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.

Our team of senior experts provides insights and support to help our clients achieve the best-in-class compliance and financial trading strategy in the EU ETS and to save a lot of money for their airline.

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.

We provide independent advice to aircraft operators on all ETS aspects and help airlines develop smart financial and fiscal strategies.

Our support includes the development and implementation of efficient trading strategies, 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 more complex instruments.

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 .

Our clients 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 and to sell aviation allowances (EUAAs).
