We calculate the required allowances bundle that suffices to compensate for the anticompetitive effects of your agreement.¹ Damage to any consumers who have an appreciation for a cleaner environment and/or fear climate change applies.² On behalf of your companies, CartelOffsetting™ then takes the compensatory amount of emissions permits off the market. The bundle is  purchased on the EU ETS and kept in a secure holding tank until after your cartel approval is complete. Only then will your rights be sustainably destroyed.

CartelOffsetting™ offers full value by protecting your investment from partial offsetting by the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) with our patented counter MSR-protocol.³  Our certificates of carbon cancelling testify credibly to your cartel offsetting investment, to accompany your Article 101(3) exemption application with members of the International Competition Network (ICN).⁴  In the unlikely event of a denied exemption, CartelOffsetting™ offers a full pay-back guarantee, at no cost to you, of reselling your rights and bringing the emissions allowances back into circulation.⁵

Special offer: Benefit now from the favorable spread between the EUA market prices and the high emissions reduction target values under the Paris Agreement 1.5 degrees Celsius temperature goal still. Compensate your cartel today!

Around €25 per ton, EU ETS EUA market prices are still well below prevention costs-based values of carbon reductions, with €30 a low-end and €60 a midpoint estimate of the carbon costs in 2020, and a low-end estimate for 2030.⁶

Profit from high shadow prices and low allowances costs.

¹This concerns European Union Allowances (EUA's) originating from the EU ETS.

²Criteria may vary between jurisdictions. CartelOffsetting™ does not accept responsibility for the assessment of your anticompetitive agreement for indispensability and elimination of competition.

³The Market Stability Reserve system extracts part of the surplus emissions rights in circulation from the market each year. This surplus is determined net of any private permit cancellation, so that your cancellations are potentially reduced. By not destroying your rights before the first MSR storage date after purchase, we secure your full reduction in carbon emissions.
