Published ahead of the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos next week our Global Head of Carbon Trading, Hannah Hauman, has co-authored a thought piece for the World Economic Forum entitled: "The ROI of Transition: The New Driver of Corporate Sustainability Agendas." Collaborating with @Andrew Herskowitz from the The Rockefeller Foundation and Professor David G. Victor from the University of California, the article explores how the return on investment (ROI) in the energy transition is reshaping corporate sustainability strategies.

This month, Trafigura, in collaboration CF Industries, successfully completed the first-ever co-loaded shipment of ammonia and propane on the Purus owned and operated Green Power, a medium gas carrier travelling from the United States to Europe. This pioneering operation demonstrates the capabilities required for the efficient, cost-effective and segregated transport of low-carbon ammonia alongside LPG. It highlights the potential to scale up the availability of low-emission fuels while meeting growing market demand. Commenting on the delivery, Patricio Norris, Trafigura’s Global Head of Ammonia and LPG, said: “By transporting both LPG and ammonia on the same vessel, we can deliver significant economic benefits to our customers while reducing emissions through fewer voyages.” Read the press release here: https://lnkd.in/eqkiZYE5 #ConnectingVitalResources #Trafigura #Ammonia #LPG #LowCarbonAmmonia

Trafigura’s Chairman, Jeremy Weir, spoke at the opening session of this week’s Future Minerals Forum in Riyadh, where he discussed the importance of building resilient supply chains to support growing demand for the metals needed for electrification, digitalisation and industrialisation. Jeremy emphasised the geopolitical and economic advantages of controlling the entire supply chain in today’s increasingly complex global landscape, particularly as a new wave of infrastructure investment shifts its focus to power, data, and communications. He also underscored the importance of downstream processing in building resilient supply chains— a vital aspect that often goes overlooked by policymakers despite its critical role alongside investment in new mines.   With most industrial metal smelters worldwide operating at a loss due to historically low treatment charges, Jeremy stated that attracting private investment in new facilities would be challenging without government support and policies such as strategic stockpiling or government-backed offtake agreements. Finally, Jeremy stressed that one of the most effective ways to encourage investment in clean commodity supply chains is through the implementation of a global price on greenhouse gas emissions, to align economic incentives with environmental goals.   #ConnectingVitalResources #Trafigura #EnergyTransition #CarbonPricing #CriticalMinerals

Trafigura has announced the closing of its inaugural uncommitted discounted facility of credit-insured receivables and prepayments for a total amount of USD1 billion. This facility, with seven participating financial institutions, has been strategically structured to optimise the accounting treatment of insured receivables and prepayments in accordance with the Capital Requirements Regulation. This innovative approach transfers the credit risk from the end buyer or producer to the insurer, enabling banks to discount these receivables.   Stephan Jansma, Trafigura’s Group Chief Financial Officer said: “This is the first time a commodity trading company has successfully aligned the interests of financial institutions and insurers around a syndicated facility of this nature, allowing off-balance sheet treatment of receivables and prepayments. We’re grateful for the strong collaboration with our financial institutions, insurance and legal counterparties to successfully conclude this new facility.”   Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ewykvDEm #ConnectingVitalResources #Trafigura
