About Carbon Compliance
We offer market access, tailored trade operations and market analysis for cap and trade systems around the world.
With both primary auction access and secondary market access, AFS is fully regulated under MiFID II rules and holds all required licences to provide carbon trading services to compliance entities and investors.
UK ETS
The UK ETS replicates the EU ETS for the UK post-Brexit. Though most fundamentals are quite similar to the EU ETS, a few key differences - related to the interconnectivity of electricity networks with the EU - exist. AFS Energy offers market access and analysis for the UK.
Cap and trade
Cap and trade systems work by limiting the number of carbon allowances available each year. Emitters captured within an emissions trading scheme must buy allowances to match their emissions.
As the number of allowances decreases, the price per allowance will increase, making alternative technologies relatively more financially attractive.
EU ETS
The EU ETS is the world's most successful cap and trade market. Heavy industry, power producers and aviators, and soon the maritime sector will be included in the EU ETS. AFS Energy has a track record of working with compliance buyers to help them meet their goals. Whether you have long-term investments, pass carbon costs on to end customers, or are keeping to a budget: we can offer access to EU Allowances on the secondary market and at auction.

Biotickets
Many countries have adopted a market mechanism to promote and encourage biofuel use in the transport sector. These systems set obligations for every fossil fuel delivery to the transportation sector. Those that make use of various kinds of biofuels (biodiesel, ethanol, green gas, and electricity) can claim biofuel certificates. These tickets are tradeable and used by counterparties with an obligation to meet their targets.
Feedstocks
Feedstocks for biofuels involve the raw materials used as primary components in the production process. Biomass is mostly used for the production of gaseous fuels, such as bio CNG and bio LNG. Popular feedstocks for liquid biofuels include used cooking oils (which can be processed into UCOME), and palm oil mill effluent (which can be processed into POMEME), both of which are classified as second-generation biofuels.
​AFS Energy maintains a wide network of clients representative of all parts of the value chain. Our expertise is the foundation for our tailor-made support in sourcing and selling all types of feedstock - making us the partner for achieving optimal market success.
Biofuels
Biofuels serve as a renewable alternative to fossil fuels in the EU, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving the EU's security of supply. Member states have a national obligation to blend biofuel into the energy mix for road transport.
In various European countries, the use of biofuel is ensured by varying incentives and schemes. Those that make use of various kinds of biofuels (biodiesel, ethanol, green gas and electricity) can claim biofuel certificates that can be traded on the open market
