SUPPORTING A BOOMING CERTIFICATE TRADING MARKET
Opening panel debate: Exploring the growing trading landscape for gas certificates
The certificate trading landscape is booming. Where do we see demand? What can be traded? Hear from experts and take a deep-dive into the trading landscape
-
What type of certificates can be traded and which need to be mass-balanced?
-
Where are traders seeing real arbitrage opportunities in biomethane certificates?
-
How is the market navigating the complexity of generating output from different fuels?
-
What are the Book and Claim requirements are does it need to be linked to physical supply?
-
What are the strongest use cases for gas GOs: transport, industrial heat, voluntary claims?
