Overview
 Consilience believes that an appropriate investment in people is utterly critical for both governments and the private sector. We specialise in providing training in energy trading and related topics such as the regulatory regime, operational practices and financial security. We limit the number of attendees on our courses to allow us to concentrate on the specific needs of individual clients by combining lively courses with interactive work groups and case studies. We provide a safe learning environment where delegates can feel comfortable asking the detailed questions of concern to them.

Training Courses - Emissions Trading

Consilience Foundation Emissions Trading Course
Visit our Online Store to book your place now or view the emissions training Brochure here.
The Consilience emissions trading courses have a one day or two day option.  Delegates can attend either or both days, but are strongly recommended to attend both days. The first day provides as much of the scientific, regulatory and legal background as is necessary to start trading. The second day is aimed at individuals who have little or no previous trading experience, but who find themselves having to trade emissions allowances for the first time. The dates for the 2010 Emissions Trading course are:
 Monday 28th June & Tuesday 29th June (new dates)
Thursday 11th November & Friday 12th November
The courses are delivered by Consilience personnel with guest expert speakers. Previous industry speakers have included the Carbon Neutral Company, DLA Piper, Ecosecurities, E3 CarbonSim, ICAP, IceCap, LEBA, Lovells, Natsource and Norton Rose. Day Two is delivered by Consilience and involves lectures and in-depth case studies, applying the data provided on Day One to practical examples. It also provides the opportunity to visit the ICAP trading floor.
Course Content
The Foundation Trading Emissions Course will:
Provide high quality practical training concerning the unique characteristics of the
emissions markets and how to trade it;
Equip emitters with the information necessary to start compiling their own carbon
abatement curve and their emissions trading strategy and tactics;
Inform advisers, such as lawyers, accountants, verifiers and technology providers
about the issues faced by their clients; and,
Explain to regulators and policy makers the commercial consequences of their decisions.
