Fuels risk management

Why PPA risk is difficult to quantify

PPA risk is not defined by the contract price alone. Risk teams need to understand how location, technology, contract structure, weather, market liquidity, and long-term power prices affect the value and downside of a contract.

Compare price signals across European biomethane markets

Certificate and registry risk

Monitor gas GO registry development across countries
Assess certificate eligibility, recognition, and tradability
Track country-specific rules affecting market access and liquidity

Supply availability

Track biomethane production, potential, and installation-level supply

Assess where future supply may be constrained

Maritime fuel cost exposure

Compare fuel costs across conventional and alternative maritime fuels
Assess bunker, EU ETS, and FuelEU cost components
Monitor relative fuel economics under changing compliance costs

Demand and adoption risk

Track bioCNG, bioLNG, maritime, and aviation demand indicators
Monitor fleet and orderbook demand by vessel and fuel type
Assess where fuel demand may outpace infrastructure or supply

Policy and compliance exposure

Monitor RED certification, national quota systems, and country frameworks
Assess EU ETS maritime and FuelEU Maritime cost impacts
Track policy changes affecting renewable fuel demand and value

Why fuels risk is difficult to quantify

Renewable fuel risk is shaped by overlapping price signals, certification systems, infrastructure constraints, and policy frameworks. Risk teams need to connect physical supply with regulatory value.

Price signals are fragmented

Certification affects market value

Supply availability is uneven

Compliance costs change fuel economics

Demand can move faster than supply

Drivers

Tracking short- and long-term market trends to clarify current and potential impacts from disparate drivers

Market behaviour

Analysing participant behaviour and market sentiment while commenting on price drivers. An in-depth focus on industry sectors by understanding their marginal abatement costs and trade behaviour allows for informed decision-making. Our pan-European power market modelling is the backbone for our granular utility-sector insights and hedging strategy analysis

Policy developments

Following relevant European carbon and energy market legislation, providing foresight on political outcomes, and assessing market impacts

Supply & demand forecasts

Generating insights on how policy ambition and regulatory change shape short- and long-term supply dynamics. Addressing sensitivities of key assumptions for EU ETS market participants. Following sector-specific trends, production data, and decarbonisation pathways to track and forecast demand for carbon European Union allowances (EUAs)

Technical analysis

Identifying key trends in the market, spotting relevant support/resistance levels, and technical patterns

Market data

Key market data for the EU ETS and the wider energy complex. Prices, volume, open interest, seasonality charts to assess liquidity, and participant behaviour

Scenario and hedging support

Key fuels market drivers risk teams monitor

Fuels risk is driven by the interaction between production cost, certificate value, compliance costs, infrastructure, and demand growth.

Biomethane value reflects fuel, certificate, and compliance components

Green premiums affect renewable fuel switching economics

Trade and auction activity indicate market pricing and liquidity

RED certification affects renewable fuel eligibility

National quota systems create certificate demand and price signals

EU ETS maritime and FuelEU Maritime reshape fuel cost exposure

Biomethane production capacity determines physical supply availability

Installation growth affects future production potential

Bunkering, liquefaction, and filling stations constrain fuel uptake

Maritime fuel demand depends on fleet composition and vessel orderbooks

BioCNG and bioLNG demand depends on road transport infrastructure

Aviation demand is shaped by SAF mandates and fuel availability

Fuel compatibility affects adoption speed and infrastructure requirements

Drop-in fuels reduce transition risk for existing assets

Ammonia, methanol, hydrogen, and LNG follow different adoption pathways

Thin markets make price signals harder to interpret

Registry development affects certificate liquidity

Trade data improves confidence in price and risk assumptions

Customisable views for risk and hedging workflows

Risk teams focus on different market inputs depending on fuel exposure, geography, transport segment, and compliance obligation.
