EMISSIONS: Energy from Waste Sets To Become Carbon Negative by 2035

Sep-24 10:55

Energy from waste could be carbon negative by 2035, while delivering up to 10mn tonnes of carbon removals annually if Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology is deployed rapidly, according to a new report from Baringa, commissioned by enfinium.

  • The UK ETS confirmed in 2023 its intention to include waste in the scheme from 2028, while planning to add a total of 22 million UKAs to the cap between 2028 and 2030.
  • This estimate could be a slight long-term bearish signal for the UK ETS, as it reduces expected allowance demand.
  • The UK ETS Authority has also confirmed plans in July to integrate engineered greenhouse gas removals (GGRs) into the UK ETS, targeting operational integration by end-2029.
  • GGR allowances will be differentiated from existing UKAs and will replace UKAs on a one-for-one basis.

OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - EURUSD Trend Structure Remains Bullish

Aug-25 10:47
  • In FX, the trend set-up in EURUSD remains bullish and Friday’s rally reinforces current conditions. Support at the 50-day EMA remains intact, at 1.1596. A clear break of it would signal scope for a deeper retracement and potentially expose key support at 1.1392, the Aug 1 low. For bulls, a stronger resumption of gains would open key resistance and the bull trigger at 1.1829, the Jul 1 high.
  • Strong gains on Friday in GBPUSD signals the end of the recent corrective phase - Friday’s reversal pattern is a bullish engulfing candle. An extension higher would refocus attention on the short-term bull trigger at 1.3595, the Aug 14 high. Clearance of this level would signal scope for a climb towards 1.3636, 76.4% of the bear leg between Jul 1 and Aug 1. Key short-term support has been defined at 1.3391, the Aug 22 low.
  • USDJPY traded sharply lower Friday highlighting a potential bearish threat. The bear trigger has been defined at 146.21, the Aug 14 low. Clearance of this level would reinstate a downtrend and pave the way for an extension towards 145.40, the 50% retracement of the Apr - Aug upleg. For bulls, a resumption of gains would instead open 149.12, 61.8% of the Aug 1 - 14 bear leg.
