EU ETS – Will high carbon prices last?

Posted on March 19, 2019March 17, 2020

The price of EU Allowance credits (EUAs) increased rapidly in 2018. A lot of credits were put in the bank, but not only because they were needed by emitters.  The main reasons for the rise were anticipation of the Market Stability Reserve (MSR), front running hedging by emitters, limited fuel switching and the entry into the market by financial investors.

So what is the forward curve likely to look like? Thomson Reuters Financial & Risk business, Refinitiv, has released a webinar forecasting the EU ETS curve to 2030.

Spoiler alert: the price remains reasonable to drive coal switching while not killing the economy.
