Emissions Trading / Carbon Market News (2017-10-30)

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Certified Emission Reductions (CER) marked a new all-time-low at 16 Cent. It seems to be a bad time for project developers in Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to look for earnings from CERs, which would be higher than the costs of generating these units. If this mechanism could be attractive in the future for investors is written in the stars. Maybe the upcoming climate change conference could set a new impulse.

Despite raising crude oil prices last week, the European Emission Allowances EUA lost 50 Cent against the week before. After the strong price increase of the last months, the time for consolidation was ready. The next days will show, if EUA will stay above the psychological important level of seven Euro per unit. The colder weather in Europe could support the energy complex in that matter.
