During this speech Max Grünig, Senior Fellow at Ecologic Institute, presented further results of the summer 2013 survey of all German-operators with their acquisition strategies in the second and third trading period. The presentation slides are available for download.
His key messages included:
- The fee settlement by the intermediaries occurred mainly
- fixed costs per executed trade contract
- with a fee per emission allowance
- as a relative mark up to the purchase price
- The fee per emission allowance was used most in the second trading period.
- The best method from the operators view depends on the current carbon market price level.
- The DEHSt is the most commonly information for the operators regarding to auctioning.
- So far only a small percentage of the operators feel well informed about the subject auctioning.
