Carbon compliance, handled with confidence

Meeting EU and UK ETS obligations requires more than just buying allowances – it requires market expertise, competitive execution and a partner who understands how carbon markets move.

What are EUAs and how does the EU ETS work?

EU Allowances are the tradable permits at the heart of the EU Emissions Trading System. Each allowance covers one tonne of CO2 equivalent. Companies covered by the EU ETS must surrender allowances equal to their verified emissions each year – and can buy or sell allowances on the market depending on their position. Managing this exposure efficiently requires both market knowledge and active monitoring.

How does active carbon exposure management create value?

Rather than simply procuring allowances at year-end, active management means monitoring your position continuously, buying when prices are favourable and hedging forward exposure where it makes sense. This reduces the risk of being forced to buy at peak prices and can meaningfully lower your overall compliance cost over time.

Can Danske Commodities help with both EUAs and UKAs?

Yes – we operate across both the EU ETS and the UK ETS, sourcing EUAs and UKAs depending on where your obligations sit. For businesses with operations in both jurisdictions, we manage the full picture from one place.
