File Image / Pixabay Malta -based commodity trading firm Alkagesta has added EU emissions trading system (EU ETS) allowances to its carbon trading offering. The EU ETS market is relevant to Alkagesta given the scheme’s reach beyond the EU and the company’s global trading activities, it said in an emailed update on Thursday . “The scheme’s reach beyond just the European Union, affecting any company dealing with or operating in the territory, added to the appeal for Alkagesta, as a company which trades in markets and goods across the globe,” it said. “The company trades a range of products, including biofuels, brent crude, naphtha, fertilizers, jet fuel and many others from hubs including Malta, Singapore, Turkey and Romania.” The EU ETS has been in place since 2005 and covers several energy-intensive sectors. The scheme was extended to shipping in January 2024 . "Trading EU ETS allowances alongside our CORSIA-eligible SAF and biofuels business means we can support clients across a much wider set of carbon obligations from one desk,” Anthony Guida , Biofuels Trading Desk Lead at Alkagesta, said. “As ETS2 brings smaller businesses into scope and RefuelEU blending requirements ramp up, having a single trading partner across allowances, credits and physical fuel supply is becoming increasingly valuable, and we're well placed to support that shift."
