Job Description:
Shell leads the energy transition to more renewable energy generation and zero-carbon solutions in volatile power, gas and environmental products markets. Emission prices have been driven by the European decarbonization journey, supply/demand fundamentals, regulatory changes, and geopolitical events. The EU ETS is expected to continue to grow, as its scope extends to shipping and trade, while globally countries model new Emission Schemes after EU regulation. Climate policies are at the forefront of many discussions and the challenge will be to predict the market impact when commodity markets, trade and regulation come together. The team has a diverse background and promotes a learning environment. As carbon markets mature and market participants extend internationally, it is particularly important to continuously challenge existing assumptions.
Environmental Products Trading (EPT) operates in environmental product markets across the globe and has the following objectives:
Build Portfolios and Optimise: We leverage deep understanding of compliance and voluntary markets – and the connections between them – to capture opportunities across market mechanisms, geographies, methodologies, vintages, contract duration and type. We integrate perspectives from all demand sinks and supply sources in real time to take proprietary positions across the environmental value chain. This leads us to build portfolios that warehouse significant optionality, structure and risk, with the objective of optimizing returns. Risk Manage, Develop Structure, Take Positions: We warehouse risk – price, volume, credit, liquidity, reputation, technical, quality, operational, regulatory to name several – and pursue diversification & mitigation of these in our portfolio construction, structure development and option creation. This informs our proprietary position take, leading us to capture outright price movements from intraday through to multiple years. Manage External Relationships: We are experienced in building long lasting relationships with third parties, from ideation through to start up and into material production or offtake. We are proficient in connecting the financing, commercial terms, operations, systems and platforms that enable sustained delivery, continuously refining these in the pursuit of efficiencies and scale. Agility: We anticipate new products and opportunities, pivot quickly and build positions ahead of market evolution. As examples: adapting to new restrictions, reinventing business models, commercializing emergent technologies and interpreting regulatory changes in and across the markets we participate in.
