About TradeNews Emissions

TradeNews Emissions

TradeNews Emissions is the fortnightly specialist publication for emissions trading, published by the MBI Martin Brückner Infosource GmbH and Co. KG in Frankfurt am Main. Under the motto Praxis, Märkte, Strategien, CO2, the publication has observed the development of European and international emissions trading since 2004, evaluating the news and studies that affect the CO2 price and delivering exclusive news from emissions trading through long-standing industry contacts, with graphics and analyses providing valuable tips for practice.

Overview

The fortnightly rhythm gives the emissions trading market a regular specialist pulse: fourteen days of market developments, price movements, auction results, and policy news evaluated for their effects on the CO2 price. The publication's long observation of the European and international emissions trading since 2004 gives it the institutional memory that the market's participants need: the two decades of price history, policy cycles, and market design changes that contextualize the current CO2 price.

The exclusive news claim rests on the long-standing industry contacts: the newsroom's relationships in the emissions trading business that deliver the exclusive Nachrichten aus dem Emissionshandel. The graphics and analyses translate the market data into practical tips, the wertvolle Tipps für die Praxis that the publication promises its specialist readership.

The PDF format defines the publication's delivery: the fortnightly digital document that the subscribers receive, with the market reports, the price tables, the auction results, and the analyses in a fixed, printable form. The format suits the specialist audience's workflow: the traders, the compliance officers, and the strategists who need the evaluated information in a citable, archivable form.

TradeNews Emissions is a fortnightly PDF publication for the emissions trading market. Its content program covers the coal market report with the effects of the intransparent coal market on the energy market, the futures and spot market prices of ICE and EEX for EUA, EUAA, and CER, the results of the primary market auctions at the EEX, the German spark and dark spreads, the price developments and technical trends on the European and international CO2 market, the national and international business and political news around emissions trading, the strategies for meeting reduction targets, and the analysis of current court rulings' effects on emissions trading.

The publication's positioning is the specialist information advantage: in more and more countries, the greenhouse gas CO2 gets a price and directly or indirectly affects companies in Germany. TradeNews Emissions evaluates the news and studies that have effects on the CO2 price, with exclusive news from emissions trading through long-standing contacts in the industry and graphics and analyses that deliver valuable tips for practice.

History

The Dow Jones lineage marks TradeNews Emissions as a product of the financial information industry's energy market coverage: the Dow Jones News GmbH's Business Newsletters, drawing on extensive in-house reporting and internationally active news agencies, positioned the emissions trading title alongside the energy market's price journalism. The Frankfurt base, in the Baseler Arkaden on Wilhelm-Leuschner-Strasse, placed the newsroom in Germany's financial capital.

The 2013 transition to MBI Martin Brückner Infosource reflects the specialist information market's consolidation: the highly specialized information service provider took over the Energy and Commodities division and continued the TradeNews titles for the steel, energy, and agricultural markets. The MBI portfolio's cross-industry title, Europa Aktuell, covers the EU legislative news and its economic effects, complementing the commodity titles' market journalism.

The emissions trading market's own history parallels the publication's: from the EU ETS launch in 2005 through the price collapse, the backloading, the Market Stability Reserve, and the current reform phases, TradeNews Emissions has observed the market's development since 2004, a year before the trading started.

TradeNews Emissions was originally a Dow Jones product: the imprint of the 2016 issue names Dow Jones TradeNews Emissions as a product of the Dow Jones News GmbH, a subsidiary of the Dow Jones International GmbH, based at the Baseler Arkaden, Wilhelm-Leuschner-Strasse 78, 60329 Frankfurt am Main, registered with the Frankfurt district court under HRB 58631, with managing directors Dr. Matthias Paul, Volker Schneider, Simon Alterman, Tom McGuirl, and Nate Rogers, and Frank Noetzel responsible for content.

Since 2013, the MBI Martin Brückner Infosource GmbH and Co. KG has continued the Energy and Commodities business division of the Dow Jones News GmbH. As a highly specialized information service provider, MBI supplies market participants with current and high-quality specialist information for steel and non-ferrous metals, energy, and agriculture. The MBI publications and online information platforms offer a reliable basis for business decisions and give readers an information advantage that can be decisive in the fast and intransparent commodity and energy markets.

Coverage and Content

The coal market report shows the publication's energy market breadth: the clear presentation of the effects of the intransparent coal market on the energy market, connecting the coal price to the power and CO2 markets that the emissions traders watch. The spark and dark spreads for Germany translate the power, gas, coal, and CO2 prices into the profitability indicators that the generation business uses.

The auction coverage documents the primary market: the results of the EEX primary market auctions that supply the EU allowances to the market, the price formation that the traders benchmark against. The technical analysis of the price developments on the European and international CO2 market gives the readers the chart-based perspective alongside the fundamental news.

The legal analysis addresses the court rulings' effects on emissions trading: the analysis of how current judgments affect the market's rules and the participants' compliance strategies. The BEHG series shows the publication's regulatory explainer role: the twelve-part series on the Fuel Emissions Trading Act that walks the readers through the new German national emissions trading system's rules and their practical implications.

TradeNews Emissions covers the emissions trading market's full information spectrum: the market reports, the price data, the auction results, the spreads, the policy news, and the legal analysis. The 12-part series on the Fuel Emissions Trading Act, the Brennstoffemissionshandelsgesetz, shows the publication's explainer journalism: everything about the new BEHG and the important information that the market participants need.

The price journalism is the publication's data backbone: the futures and spot market prices of ICE and EEX for EUA, EUAA, and CER, the primary market auction results at the EEX, and the German spark and dark spreads. The national and international reports from business and politics around emissions trading, the strategies for meeting the reduction targets, and the analysis of current court rulings' effects complete the fortnightly program.
