Emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases
have become inseparable from energy production and industrial
manufacturing. This new business reality is both a risk and an
opportunity. Major emitters, from energy producers and
refineries to utilities and manufacturers, must meet new and
growing regulatory compliance requirements. But the advent of
cap-and-trade markets also opens up a new revenue stream for
many commodity-oriented entities, including those most
constrained by regulatory scrutiny.
The good news is
that emissions traders have access to the same commodity capture
and modeling capabilities as traders who handle oil or gas, with
emissions solutions that can be used as standalone,
out-of-the-box tools or integrated into the larger portfolio
management solution.
RiskAdvisory’s
energy risk solutions, either as an integrated suite or
operating as independent modules, have no limitation in modeling
any commodity type that can be properly quantified and priced.
SAS BookRunner solutions provide all the trade capture and
reporting tools needed to remain competitive and compliant in
this new arena. SAS BookRunner’s framework is particularly
suited paper trading where there is no physical commodity
exchanged, making it the ideal solution to manage CO2,
SO2, and NOx emissions-related offsets and allowances
positions.
