Forecasting

Our forecasting services provide you with the necessary insights to make informed decisions and stay competitive in the ever-evolving CO2 market. Accurate forecasts of market trends enable your business to plan effectively and capitalize on emerging opportunities. In Europe, the CO2 market is influenced by a variety of factors that must be carefully analyzed to develop precise forecasts.

​

One of the main components of CO2 market forecasting is the Emissions Trading System (ETS), a crucial tool in the EU's strategy to combat climate change, operating on a cap-and-trade principle.

​

ETS Price Forecasts and Market Trends Involve the Analysis of Key Factors:

​

1. Regulatory Developments:

   • Changes in EU climate policies, such as adjustments to emissions caps, inclusion of new sectors in the ETS, or revisions to allocation methods, can significantly influence market dynamics. Monitoring these regulatory changes is essential for accurate forecasting.

2. Economic Activity:

   • The level of industrial activity in the EU directly impacts CO2 emissions and, consequently, the demand for ETS allowances. Economic growth or contraction can lead to emissions variations, influencing allowance prices.

3. Energy Prices:

   • The cost of fossil fuels and renewable energy sources plays a significant role in determining emission levels. For instance, higher fossil fuel prices may lead to reduced emissions as companies shift to cleaner energy sources, impacting ETS allowance demand and prices.

4. Technological Innovations:

   • Advances in energy efficiency and low-carbon technologies can reduce emissions, affecting ETS allowance demand. Tracking these technological trends is essential for precise market forecasts.

5. Weather Patterns:

   • Seasonal variations and extreme weather events can influence energy consumption and production, impacting emission levels and the ETS market. For example, cold winters or hot summers can drive higher energy use and emissions.

CBAM Market Forecasts

​

Similarly, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) market is subject to various influencing factors. CBAM aims to prevent "carbon leakage" by ensuring that the cost of carbon is reflected in the price of imported goods.

​

Accurate CBAM Market Forecasts Consider the Following Elements:

​

1. Global Trade Dynamics:

   • Changes in international trade policies and tariffs can affect the flow of CBAM-subjected goods, influencing market behavior.

2. Import Volumes:

   • The volume of goods imported into the EU subject to CBAM will impact the demand for and price of CBAM certificates.

3. Exchange Rates:

   • Currency exchange rate fluctuations can affect the competitiveness of imported goods, influencing the CBAM market.

4. Compliance Costs:

   • The cost of complying with CBAM regulations can vary across sectors and regions, affecting market trends.

​

Interplay Between ETS and CBAM Price Forecasts

​

It is important to note that ETS CO2 allowance price forecasts are closely tied to CBAM quota forecasts. As ETS allowance prices rise, the cost of CBAM certificates is likely to increase correspondingly, affecting the competitiveness of imported goods subject to these adjustments. Accurate ETS price forecasts, therefore, provide valuable insights into expected CBAM market trends.

​

These forecasts are indicative and can vary instantly due to the significant impact of external factors on these highly liquid markets.

​

By analyzing these factors, our forecasting services provide a comprehensive understanding of the CO2 market, helping you anticipate changes, manage risks, and capitalize on opportunities. Our team of experts employs advanced analytical tools and methodologies to deliver precise market forecasts, ensuring that your business remains well-informed and strategically positioned in both ETS and CBAM markets.
