Emissions Trading / Carbon Market News (2018-10-01)

Dear Sir or Madam,

The Mercator Research Institute on Global Commands and Climate Change, or MCC for short, has programmed a clock on its homepage that shows the global carbon budget that mankind is still allowed to emit in order to reduce global warming to 1.5°C or 2°C to limit. This report contains the latest findings of the last progress report of the IPCC.

In order to meet the 1.5°C target set by the 2015 Paris Climate Change Conference, humankind should no longer emit CO2 or its equivalent of other greenhouse gases in the ordinary case by the end of the month. The goal of reducing global warming to 2°C gives us 17 years to emit a maximum of 690 gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere.

As of today, the IPCC sits back to debate a meta-study of work by 24,000 experts in South Korea. A result is to be published on 8. October. It is not expected that the result will give cause for optimism.

In the past week, the European carbon emission rights in a trading range between 19.60 and 23.00 euros moved. After the certificates had dipped below the 20-euro mark on Wednesday, they closed at the end of the trading week with a small minus vis-à-vis the previous week visibly above the 21-euro line.

The upswing on the last two trading days was accompanied by a significant increase in crude oil prices, which rose by nearly 4% on a weekly basis. The main reason for this was the decision by the extended OPEC group last Sunday not to raise the production volumes for the time being.
