  1. Guarantees of Origin: is an electronic marketplace possible? Stefano Alaimo Chair of the WG on Environmental Markets

  2. Market price for GOs Big question:which is a reliable market price for a GO?

  3. Organized markets • One of the scopes of an organized market is to gather interests on few instruments in a safe environment, in order to “produce” an economically efficient price • Main features of an organized market are: security liquidity transparency

  4. Organized markets The creation of a “mature market” is a very long process Some basic requirements are needed to create “confidence” in the market’s operatorsThe more confidence is reached, the more liquidity will be attracted

  5. Liquidity • To achieve a good liquidity in a market, it would be better: • to haveonly one instrument traded • It should be important that GOs implementation will be based on one stable standard i.e. the European Energy Certificate System (EECS), as suggested by RE DISS project • to create demand • Voluntary demand is not enough. Member States should introduce mandatory schemes for fuel mix disclosure based on GOs (other tracking system possibly coordinated and converted to GOs)

  6. Security • To create confidence in an organized GOs spot market, it is needed: • a reliable guarantee system - market operator acting as Central Counterparty (payments and spot delivery are guaranteed) • links between Registries (Hub) to avoid double selling and double counting (comparable to the Registry regulation for EU ETS)

  7. Transparency Trading on a organized market might provide transparency - prices disclosure and provide also economic signals to operators and institutions An efficient and reliable market price could be also used as benchmark for bilateral contracts and for forward contracts

  8. Conclusion Potential for GOs organized market: A liquid, safe and transparent GOs spot market could lead to a wider use of GOs in Europe. Social welfare and investments could benefit Threats: It is needed to avoid green-washing, VAT carousel, double counting, hacking of the systems (see ET ETS experience…)
