EU ETS & Cement – Enter the Phase IV report contents:
Setting the scene:
- Cement and carbon emissions – some basic facts and insights
- EU ETS Phases so far
- How did Phase III fared?
- Phase IV – what does it mean?
- Carbon pricing – “up and up?”
- Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) – What is it? How can it be implemented? Who may be impacted and how?
- Reference to UK ETS will also be included
Data, analysis, insights, and forecasts:
- Several aggregated factors relevant to the EU ETS members’ past performance and future potential
- Country by country insights and analysis to include:
- Emissions balance at the end of Phase III – 2020 surplus, 2020 number of plants in deficit, 2020 average emissions per tonne of clinker
- Performance vis-à-vis Phase III benchmark – narrative on 2020 performance and data
- Grey clinker consumption profile – 2020
- 2013 – 2025 free carbon allowances
- 2020 – 2025 clinker consumption projections and resultant utilisation rates
- Clinker production profile to match carbon allowances 2021 – 2025 compared to recent clinker production data
- Implications on utilisation rates and trading
- Estimation of carbon costs 2021 – 2025 if recent clinker utilisation rates were maintained, impact on cement pricing
- Average carbon emissions reported by plant 2014- 2018
- Plant by plant data and insights:
- Map with plants and utilisation rates at no further carbon purchases
- Narrative on several topics: alternative fuels, upgrades of plants etc.
- Narrative on issues and potential strategies of individual plants during Phase IV
- NB: The UK will be included in the above sections.
Conclusions would help answer the following questions:
- Which countries look exposed vis-à-vis carbon costs and why?
- Which plants look vulnerable vis-à-vis carbon costs and why?
- What might the strategy of individual players be during Phase IV?
- How important is the carbon issue in Europe going forward?
Our proprietary analytical tools:
Domestic Capacity Utilisation Factor – DCUF™ – Propensity to export / import.
International Trading Assessment Matrix – ITAM™, Capability to export / import.
Capacity Concentration Balance Index (CCBI™). CCBI™ assesses the potential of each cement plant’s theoretical sales to each statistically available region of a national market, taking into account the plant’s capacity and proximity to consumption centres.
Micro-Market Attractiveness Matrix (MAM™). MAM™ examines statistically available regions for their existing and potential growth prospects.
Industry Structure and Dynamics – ISD™ – Nature of Participants, Consolidation Index, Cost Structure and Industry Profitability.
CemBR Ranking Tool – CemBRRT™ – Overall Market Attractiveness Assessment
