4 Kore Energy Carbon Management Whether you are driven by environmental issues, price or both, understanding and managing your exposure to the carbon market is an essential ingredient in energy price risk management. Ireland s energy users are exposed to the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) and to other carbon charges and taxes in a variety of ways: For large thermal users, directly via the EU ETS scheme Through electricity supply contracts, via explicit or embedded hedges On fuel use, including site fuel use and transport costs Since the commencement of phase three of the EU ETS scheme, the elimination of free carbon allowances (EUAs) for power generators and a reduction in allowances for other EU ETS participants has presented an even greater challenge for large energy users. Key deliverables from Kore Energy s Carbon Management service: Daily carbon price tracking and analysis Negotiation of carbon price levers within electricity supply contracts Execution of carbon trades, including EUA / CER swaps Carbon tax calculation and advice
