5 Portfolio Management

6 Why Manage the EUA portfolio? Not just a bureaucratical burden but valuable assets EUA allowances are a raw material for production, similar to fuels & other costs of production Not doing anything = taking a view on the price development 2005-2007 period has shown extreme volatility in price The lesson learned: manage the price risk

11 Portfolio Management Strategy depends on the nature of business of each company Some have a real option to not produce and to sell the EUA’s instead – some do not Leads into different strategies CER/ ERU use an integral part

12 12 www.greenstream.net CERs – a great opportunity

13 Secondary CERs CER with guaranteed delivery (vs. Primary CER which includes project risk) CERs have importance to all companies with installations under EU ETS Cap for CER (and ERU) use per installation defined in NAPs as % of allocation for 2008-2012 OTC market at the moment most liquid (Forward, later also SPOT)

15 EUA-CER SWAP Secondary CERs valued today at ~80% of EUAs A company with EUAs can create positive cash flow and/ or more credits for compliance by exchanging EUAs for CERs EVERY COMPANY UNDER EU ETS SHOULD DO IT! Project markets (primary CERs) not as easily accessible and managing project risks is an issue Example 1 (figures only exemplary, not an offer): –Company A delivers 80kt EUAs and receives 100kt CERs (forward deliveries) Example 2 (figures only exemplary, not an offer): –Company A delivers 100kt EUAs and receives 100kt CERs + 400000€ cash (forward deliveries & payment)
