Navigating the Great Transition

Carbon markets are capital-market-constructs designed to enable energy transition through economic allocation of resources. The development of the carbon trading schemes by disjointed jurisdictions and across different industries have created a fragmented set of markets that are difficult to understand and hard to navigate commercially.

Turning the Constraints Into Strategic Opportunities

Many companies view carbon markets as simply a constraint to manage, a small subset of companies have developed a trading and optimization function focused on trading in compliance and voluntary markets, but they lack clear strategic connection to their asset base. There are a handful of companies that have turned carbon market constraints into a key strategic advantage.

Turning Challenges to Opportunities

Developing an asset trading and optimization mindset and capabilities is key in turning a compliance program into a strategic advantage for the corporation. Asset trading and optimization mindset and capabilities will provide a strategic clarity, will link strategy to risk appetite at the portfolio level, and help corporations to use assets and natural market exposure into competitive and sustainable information advantage. The portfolio risk management framework and capabilities will improve risk adjusted returns across the portfolio.
