Emissions Trading / Carbon Market News (2017-09-18)

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Quite accurate 30 years ago, the Montreal agreement for protection of the ozonosphere was signed.  Today, the ozone hole is no big talking point anymore. Scientists agree, that no later than at the middle of this century, the ozone hole will be at the same level as 1960. On one hand it was an important step for the global waiving of ozone-harmful chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), on the other hand a soon aid for the climate protection, because CFC is also extremely climate-harmful.

This success shows, that it´s possible for the international community, to fight negative human made environmental influences. This should have an inspiring example for the current global protection activities.

The prices of European emission allowances got raising strongly last week and reached a 20-month-high on last Tuesday at more than 7.70 Euro for short time per EUA. That was followed by profit taking, which finally leads to a small loss on weekly basis. Especially stronger energy prices for oil and power together with the ongoing talks to reform the EU Emissions Trading System ETS was the price-building factors.

Even the new trading week has started a little more mildly, because the air for the energy complex is getting thinner after the increase of the last weeks. That´s why one should keep an eye on the development of oil, gas and power prices.
