If you think policy moves by the Trump Administration have throttled the market for renewable energy certificates and other clean energy marlets, you are mistaken. Day Two of our coverage from the Futures Industry Association’s Global Cleared Markets Conference continues with this conversation with IncubEx CEO Dan Scarbrough, who explains that despite regulatory challenges, environmental commodity markets are thriving, especially in North America. Scarbrough also discusses:
- The work IncubEx is doing on a financially settled California carbon allowance futures contract, the first of its kind in the market.
- The growth of state-based programs like Virginia’s re-entry into the Reginoal Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) program and New Mexico’s low carbon fuel standard.
- How recent volatility in European carbon markets due to political and regulatory changes has led to significant activity in the option market.
