Analyst EU carbon price forecasts edge higher but risks remain


Analysts have increased their average price forecasts for EU carbon permits for the next three years on expectations that Europe’s economies could start to improve as energy prices fall from record highs.

But they warned an increase in permits sales would keep a lid on gains.

EU Allowances (EUAs) are expected to average 81.40 euros a tonne in 2023 and 94.14 euros in 2024, a Reuters survey of six analysts showed. That is up 4.2% and 1.9% respectively from forecasts made in October.

The analysts forecast for average prices in 2025 rose by 0.6% to 102.24 euros/tonne.

The European Union’s Emissions Trading System (ETS), forces manufacturers, power companies and airlines to pay for each tonne of carbon dioxide they emit as part of Europe’s efforts to meet its climate targets.

European gas and electricity prices have retreated from record highs seen last year following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as Europe built up large gas reserves and as milder than usual weather dented demand.

The sharp fall in energy costs is leading to expectations of an improved outlook for economies across Europe.

“Potential recovery in industrial activities could drive up demand for allowances and support (carbon) prices,” Yan Qin, Refinitiv lead carbon analyst said.

The picture however is complicated by Europe’s “REpowerEU” plan launched last year, to sell an increased number of allowances through government auctions over the next few years to help raise 20 billion euros that would help fund the bloc’s transition away from reliance on Russian fossil fuels.

EU member states and the European Parliament all need to formally approve the plan before the sales can begin.

“The front-loading of EU ETS auctions will start some time in 2023, right after the bill is voted upon: as a result, that will put additional bearish pressure on EUA prices in 2023 and beyond,” said Goda Aglinskaite, analyst at Clearblue Markets.

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
