Essent Trading's Emissions Group sources carbon credits from around the globe and optimizes emissions assets both for our own needs and those of our customers.
Climate change is higher on the political and business agenda than ever before, with greater governmental and corporate emphasis on removing or reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Emission markets
There are two markets for carbon emissions offsets – the well established compliance market, mandated by law, and the voluntary market, where demand is driven by corporations and individuals.
Our broad experience in both the compliance and voluntary markets allows us to structure complex deals that meet the requirements of our clients and helps us to provide products, expertise and services related to their needs.
We offer:
- Proven experience in emissions trading, providing customers under the compliance scheme with the best trading channel in the European Union Allowance (EUA) market;
- Access to high quality compliance projects and voluntary projects sourced from a diverse portfolio;
- One of the most experienced emissions desks in the industry, offering the intelligent application of financial know-how.
Internal initiatives
Essent Trading is committed to compensating for its impact on the environment even beyond the marketplace.
In addition to offsetting the electricity consumption in the Essent offices and the fuel use of our car fleet, Essent Trading now offsets all business flights of employees since January 2009. These emissions are offset using Gold Standard Voluntary Emissions (GS VERs) equal to 502 tons of CO2 in the first half of the year.
