Over the last decade, biomass of various kinds has become an increasingly commonly used fuel for electricity generation, particularly in the European Union, which mandated ambitious threshold targets for the share of renewables in total electricity generation.
Wood chips and pellets have taken a large share of biomass production, not just in Europe, but also parts of Asia as well. In fact, according to the US International Trade Commission, production of wood pellets in the US for export to these locations increased 400% between 2008 and 2014 to help meet the increased demand. The US International Trade Commission further states that, “estimates of global wood pellet consumption vary, but are currently in the range of 22 – 25 million metric tons (Mt) annually. This projected to rise to between 50 and 80 million Mt by 2020. At 19 million Mt in 2013, the EU accounted for 85 percent of global consumption of wood pellets.”
This white paper examines some of the challenges around managing and optimizing biomass supply chains and discusses Generation 10’s Commodity Manager as a comprehensive software solution to these challenges.

Webinar - The US energy savings potential and who pays for itLeonardo ENERGY
Several recent studies use bottom-up models to assess the potential for energy efficiency (or avoided emissions from greenhouse gases) and the costs of implementing such energy efficiency measure, representing these two dimensions in an energy efficiency supply curve. However, energy savings estimates are generally overly optimistic suggesting that the costs to achieve the energy efficiency potential are very low.
We revisit the energy efficiency supply curve approach, developing a model that accounts for key uncertainties and different perspectives on how energy efficiency potential can be tackled.
This model provides efficiency potential savings and associated costs for the US residential sector
Determining primary energy factors for electricityLeonardo ENERGY
A primary energy factor (PEF) for electricity describes the ratio between end-user consumption of electricity and primary energy consumption. In recent years, the EU has implemented regulatory use of PEFs in the energy policy framework. As a result, PEFs now play a role in the regulation of production and consumption of electricity throughout Europe.
A key challenge is the lack of professional and/or political agreement on how the PEF shall be determined. Up until today, approaches used to determine PEFs have lacked foundation in objective methodologies, and the discussions have often been plagued by sectorial interest and political goals. Regulatory application of PEFs can create enormous challenges for European authorities and other energy market interests in the future. Depending on the case, the determination of a PEF may push end-users to alter their consumption of energy, decisions on energy efficiency and/or choice of energy fuels. Thus, PEFs may affect European countries’ ability to achieve long-term energy- and climate goals.
Does the EU Emission Trading Scheme ETS Promote Energy Efficiency?Leonardo ENERGY
This policy brief analyzes the main interacting mechanisms between the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and the EU Emission Trading Scheme (ETS). It presents a detailed top-down approach, based on the ODYSSEE energy indicators, to identify energy savings from the EU ETS.
The main task consists in isolating those factors that contribute to the change in energy consumption of industrial branches covered by the EU ETS, and the energy transformation sector (mainly the electricity sector).

Introduction to the EU Emission Trading SystemLeonardo ENERGY
The EU ETS Directive is the centrepiece of the European Union’s climate policy. It has created the European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), which is a unique and quite com-plex system.
The EU ETS establishes a scheme for greenhouse gas emissions allowances trading within 31 European countries. Its functioning is based on a “cap and trade” principle, which sets a cap on the total amount of greenhouse gases that can be emitted by all participating installations. Within the cap, companies receive or buy emission allowances which they can trade with one another as needed.
Today, the EU ETS covers almost half of EU’s emissions and is part of the daily life of a large number of companies.
The EU ETS Directive represents the backbone of EU’s action against climate change, but it also works in combination with several other pieces of legislation in a delicate balance.
Our European system has very much evolved during the last 15 years. The existing legislation operates until 2020. It has set a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target in line with EU’s 2050 low carbon economy roadmap. The time has also come to discuss the post-2020 period and the European Commission will soon put forward a new proposal with a 2030 emissions reduction target.
Being the first one to have been setup, the European scheme is analysed and taken as exam-ple in other regions of the world where emissions trading starts being implemented.
This course aims at giving a presentation of the EU ETS Directive, the main features of the sys-tem, the balance with other pieces of EU legislation and at offering perspectives for the on-coming review of the scheme.

EBRD Seminar on Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy for Finnish private sector at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland on February 16th 2016, presentation by Ms. Stefania Cruceru
More than 20 years ago, the EU vowed to fight the newly identified danger of climate change. Over time, it has developed a policy which is two-fold: on one hand, it looks at ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions inside EU borders and now has 2050 as horizon; on the other hand, it tends to lead by example and to push other big emitters to gather around similar emission reduction objectives.
Pursuing the idea of giving a price to carbon, the EU has put in place an instrument that would lead it towards decarbonisation: the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). Launched in 2005, it has today become a complex system which is being reproduced in other parts of the world. The ultimate vision is one of a global carbon market leading to a significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and thus mitigating the impact of climate change.

COP15, The Deal Sabotage At Copenhagen CE 82Sandip Sen
The "Seal the Deal" dream of Copenhagen has been sabotaged by a carefully planned move by the fossil fuel lobby and the Kyoto defaulters to scrap Kyoto proposal and introduce the infinitely more complex emission cap regime. As the struggle for stopping climate change intensifies and the struggling carbon economy lies exposed, it is time to bring in the main players of renewable energy solar energy, wind power and rainforest plantations to the forefront to ensure DIRECT FINANCE & TECHNOLOGY DEALS , the positive solutions in climate change.
Responding To Continual Energy Market ChangeCTRM Center
The European power and gas industry is currently going through a period of very rapid change that has potentially far reaching consequences. While change is certainly no stranger to the industry, it requires players in the industry to constantly re-evaluate their business process and technology infrastructures in order to adapt and thrive.
The research firm Contrive Datum Insights has just recently added to its database a report with the heading global Bioethanol Market .Both primary and secondary research methodologies have been utilised in order to conduct an analysis of the worldwide Bioethanol Market . In order to provide a comprehensive comprehension of the topic at hand, it has been summed up using appropriate and accurate market insights. According to Contrive Datum Insights, this worldwide comprehensive report is broken up into several categories in order to present the data in a way that is understandable, succinct, and presented in a professional manner.
A report published by the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions in June 2013 which looks at how the use of natural gas can be paired with renewable energy sources in the coming years to further reduce so-called greenhouse gas emissions--carbon and methane--which theoretically will help reduce (don't laugh), "climate change." Of course the climate changes all the time, but don't tell the politicians and Mother Earth worshipers that.
CTRM - The Next Generation - ComTechAdvisory Vendor Technical UpdateCTRM Center
There is no doubt that technology has undergone a sea-change over the last decade or so potentially making it possible to build and deploy software faster and more cost-effectively while offering a host of features that help users to work smarter, faster and with less opportunity for error. Additionally, the way that applications are designed and built has also changed to take better advantage of these technologies. While arguably there is no single technology that facilitates a paradigm shift in Commodity Trading and Risk Management (CTRM) software, when you combine advances in all areas of solution development and deployment technology, then such a leap forward is both likely and desirable.
Nowhere is the gap between the possibilities offered by these leaps in technology and what is available as commercial solutions more apparent than in the commodity trading and risk management software category. There are many aging, legacy, solutions still being utilized, marketed, and deployed and yet, this is an industry that is experiencing unprecedented demands and change, which in turn, are placing increasing demands on the software it utilizes. What most commodity firms are seeking is more agile software platforms that can allow them to adapt and evolve through these changes. This growing demand is also accentuated by the younger, more tech-savvy people entering the business whose expectations are not being met by many existing solutions.
Managing Supply Chain Complexity and ExposuresCTRM Center
The supply chains for bulk commodities, including agricultural, metals/ores and some energies, are complex – usually necessitating transportation and storage using trucks, trains, ships, barges, pipelines, and terminals/storage facilities. These movements, and the assets utilized to make them, introduce and accumulate both cost and risk to the commodities owners with each step in the chain.
Additionally, as these commodities transit the supply chain, they may undergo changes that will impact their value, both as traded commodities and as a stock or inventory. These events can include transformations to finished products (such as refining crude oil into numerous petroleum products or grains milled into flour) and repackaging from bulk loads into smaller containers such as bags for wholesale or retail sales.
Global Sugar - A Complex Market that Requires a Fit for Purpose CTRM SolutionCTRM Center
Sugar is a global commodity, with almost 180 million metric tons being produced in more than 120 countries each year. Though much of the sugar produced by these countries is consumed locally in food products or, increasingly, for ethanol production, the largest producing countries are often exporters as well and in total contribute 60-70 million metric tons delivered into the global market each year.
Putting Data at the Heart of Energy TradingCTRM Center
In a digital world, data is King, and while energy and commodities have been going through a period of digitalizing for the last several years, there can be no doubt that coming up with data management strategies has also played an important, if not critical, role in those strategies as well. Indeed, this was strongly emphasized in Commodity Technology Advisory’s disruptive technologies research over the last few years, where more than half of all of those questioned in the industry.
US Dairy Markets – Digitalizing to address complexity and volatilityCTRM Center
US dairy markets are one of, if not the most, unique and complex commodity markets. Dairy production has unique physical characteristics not found in any other agricultural commodities, including continuous production, rapidly spoiling milk inventories, and multiple derivative products with a varying ability to store over time (i.e., fresh milk vs. cheese products).
Diversifying Into Renewable Energy: Challenges And OpportunitiesCTRM Center
The energy transition is the move away from fossil fuels towards renewable and sustainable forms of production and generation, in combination with increasing decarbonization (net zero) and electrification. The motivations behind the energy transition are primarily political, environmental, and increasingly, financial. Mostly, it is driven by Governments and international bodies (like the EU, which also sees renewables to increase its’ energy independence) through goal setting, provision of incentives, and legislation such as the US’s Inflation Reduction Act.
The push for decarbonization and ESG is also now being championed by large banks and financial institutions like Barclays Bank, who recently announced that it had tightened its financing rules and abandoned financing for oil exploration altogether. Over the last 12-months or so, geopolitics has played an ever-greater role in shaping the energy industry and the energy transition, as the fall-out from the Russia-Ukraine war has interfered with the energy transition agenda, resulting in soaring power and natural gas prices. This has wrought havoc with consumers and suppliers alike and stalled, or temporarily reversed, certain net zero initiatives, and encouraged the specter of market intervention.
The integration of trade and risk management solutions with the corporate accounting solution has long been an area of focus for commodity companies and software vendors alike. There are many apocryphal stories in the industry regarding trading profits that entitled trader’s to be paid large bonuses. Those trading profits then seem to evaporate when accounted for in the enterprise accounting system. These stories are symptomatic of a broader but important issue – that of integrating two sets of solutions to provide timely and accurate auditable results. Over the last three decades, many different approaches have been tried out and mooted to address and solve the problems. This paper will examine the problem and discuss potential solutions including highlighting the approach taken by Enuit.
How can your ETRM / CTRM solution help with creditCTRM Center
Current market conditions are forcing many firms exposed to commodities to perform a re-evaluation of their credit risk systems and business processes. As most commodity prices are extremely volatile and progressively rising through time due to issues like shortages, supply chain disruptions of various types including most importantly, political sanctions, increased demand and so on, default by a counterparty is seen as increasingly likely. Indeed, were it not for Government intervention, a few high-profile firms would already have defaulted. However, the need to manage cash more effectively is also driving an enhanced focus on credit risk as many commodity firms face huge margin calls from various exchanges and increased scrutiny by lenders. Importantly, the rapid emergence of regulations around ESG and carbon, whether planned or actual, are also having a huge impact on counterparty credit worthiness. As firms review their credit solutions, they are scrutinizing their ETRM / CTRM solutions and their role in managing credit risk as well.
In an era that is likely to be dominated by the energy transition, metals are set to become the new foundation of modern society. As more of everything is powered by clean electricity, demand for metals will pick up with everything from greater quantities of base metals needed to make batteries to store it all the way through to copper for the cables to carry it.
Other metals like iron in the form of steel, along with rare earth elements and speciality metals, will all also be needed in ever greater quantities to support electrification and construction. Metals like Lithium, Cobalt, Manganese, Zinc, Mercury, Silver, Cadmium are the key components of many types of battery along with Graphite in some instance.
RPS and RECs – Managing an Increasing Regulatory BurdenCTRM Center
Renewable energy certificates or ‘RECs’ have become the currency of the renewable power industry, allowing power providers to expand their product offerings and offer ‘green’ power irrespective of whether or not they can physically generate it. RECs also assure consumers who opt to buy renewable power, that that power has either come directly from a renewable generator, or if a renewable generator is not servicing their facility, that it is offset in the market by power from a renewable source, such as wind, solar or hydro, in another geographic area.
Global Renewables Transition Requires Dedicated ETRM CapabilitiesCTRM Center
Renewable energy resource development is accelerating around the globe as the push to reduce carbon emissions continues to gain momentum.
As the pace of renewable energy expansion quickens, market participants will continue to adjust to the commercial and financial implications as well as production variability and intermittency, reliability, and grid stability. In this white paper we will explore the changing nature of power markets, the complexities that will challenge utilities, power off-takers and traders, and the critical ETRM systems they rely on to ensure profitability.
Global LNG Navigating Risks in a Dynamic MarketCTRM Center
Liquified natural gas (LNG) has been a traded commodity for more than a century. But only in the last couple of decades has the market expanded to meet the ever-increasing demand for energy, through low carbon emissions energy sources. With the development of the massive Qatar LNG facilities in the mid-1990s and the increasing demand for imported gas, global LNG trading has grown from about 50 MTPA in 1990 to more than 350 MTPA in 2020.
Most energy commodities struggled with lower trade and consumption volumes under the pandemic-induced industrial shutdowns in 2020. LNG trade was, however, up slightly at 0.4% during the year, continuing its uninterrupted streak of year-over-year growth since 1996. However, that growth was far below rates in the preceding years which averaged 7% since 2004.
Disruptive Technologies – A 2021 UpdateCTRM Center
In 2021, Commodity Technology Advisory LLC (ComTech) published its first Disruptive Technologies research report (that version kindly sponsored by FIS). Technologies covered in the study scope included cloud/SaaS, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), big data, automation and blockchain, amongst others. The findings were supported by an industry survey that led to the broad conclusions that cloud/SaaS and data management initiatives were in flight. AI, ML and automation seemed to be prepping for an explosion of use while blockchain was overhyped and lagging. Over the last couple of years, our general market observations as analysts have largely confirmed the results of the research.
In all of its forms, risk management is rapidly growing in importance within the commodity asset class. It will only become even more critical and complex in the future. Driven by unprecedented levels of change in the industry ranging from geopolitics to carbon, effective risk management is shifting for many commodity firms from just another activity to be managed to a critical component of business strategy that helps drive and inform brand, gain financing and trust, and demonstrates proper controls.
Over the years, there has been a growing realization that building a commodity trading and risk management (CTRM) solution is not a trivial task. Indeed, quite the opposite. It is a hugely complex piece of software that can never seem to meet all the varied needs of all the different types of companies buying and selling commodities around the globe.
Reimagining Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) With Advanced Delivery ...CTRM Center
ETRM systems are, by their nature, complex software products as the software must mirror the full complexity of the commodities industries, markets, and assets that they serve. Spanning from contract administration through invoicing and settlement, the business processes involved in commodity trading varies greatly. This variation is created by the unique combinations and nature of the physical or financial commodity or commodities traded, as well as by the industry segment (power generation/trading, gas production/trading, agricultural production/trading, etc.), the assets employed in the supply chain(s) and geographic differences (North American power vs. European vs. Japan, for example).
Risk and Compliance – Lessons learned and looking beyond the COVID-19 EraCTRM Center
While it is commonly believed that the pandemic was a black swan event, according to most risk experts it wasn’t. As they point out, the COVID Pandemic was an event that was foreseeable in its occurrence, though perhaps not in its timing. Despite being (thankfully) rare, these types of events do occur and bring with them an increased awareness of the importance of proper and holistic risk management practices, not only as it applies to external risks (as the pandemic was), but also commercial and internal risks as well.
2021 Trends in Agricultural and Soft Commodities TradingCTRM Center
Arguably, all commodity and commodity-exposed businesses are facing unprecedented change and disruption. These numerous challenges range from climate and carbon to COVID lockdowns and work from home, to managing geopolitical and operational risks through supply chains while seeking to digitalise, automate and increase efficiencies across the business.
While talk of a new commodities supercycle may be premature, global population growth and the resulting increased demand suggest rising prices and volatilities, especially in agricultural commodities. Companies need enhanced agility in such markets. It starts with a modern software platform that provides adequate visibility and control over the business, from managing physical movements to limiting risks and exposure.
Achieving Digitalization in a Document Intensive Energy MarketCTRM Center
As energy companies seek to become more efficient and agile in a rapidly changing marketplace fraught with risks, digitalization - the process of evolving from manual or analog processes to more efficient and cost effective digital processes by reducing the number of times data is touched and ensuring greater accuracy and more rapid movement of data and information throughout the enterprise – continues to attract attention from CIOs across the energy value chain.
The global market for CTRM (Commodity Trading and Risk Management) software solutions that cater specifically for metals and ores trading and risk management is the third largest among the major commodity groupings of energy, ags & softs, and metals, at an estimated $174m in expenditures in 2019 according to ComTech’s most recent market sizing report. It is also among the most complex of these markets in terms of its functional requirements, especially in areas like concentrates and ores. Complexity is also found throughout the supply chain. Perhaps these are just some of the reasons why the metals market for CTRM and CM (Commodity Management) software have been underserved by commercially available solutions in the past.

Launch Your Streaming Platforms in MinutesRoshan Dwivedi
The claim of launching a streaming platform in minutes might be a bit of an exaggeration, but there are services that can significantly streamline the process. Here's a breakdown:
Pros of Speedy Streaming Platform Launch Services:
No coding required: These services often use drag-and-drop interfaces or pre-built templates, eliminating the need for programming knowledge.
Faster setup: Compared to building from scratch, these platforms can get you up and running much quicker.
All-in-one solutions: Many services offer features like content management systems (CMS), video players, and monetization tools, reducing the need for multiple integrations.
Things to Consider:
Limited customization: These platforms may offer less flexibility in design and functionality compared to custom-built solutions.
Scalability: As your audience grows, you might need to upgrade to a more robust platform or encounter limitations with the "quick launch" option.
Features: Carefully evaluate which features are included and if they meet your specific needs (e.g., live streaming, subscription options).
Examples of Services for Launching Streaming Platforms:
Muvi [muvi com]
Uscreen [usencreen tv]
Alternatives to Consider:
Existing Streaming platforms: Platforms like YouTube or Twitch might be suitable for basic streaming needs, though monetization options might be limited.
Custom Development: While more time-consuming, custom development offers the most control and flexibility for your platform.
Overall, launching a streaming platform in minutes might not be entirely realistic, but these services can significantly speed up the process compared to building from scratch. Carefully consider your needs and budget when choosing the best option for you.
