LONDON, March 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

As part of the series of free market information ICIS provides, we will be hosting a webinar on "How will 'back-loading' impact on industrials' carbon portfolio management?" on Thursday 13th March at 4pm (Central European Time) GMT+1 hour.

Ingo Tschach, Head of Market Analysis at ICIS incorporating Tschach Solutions, which is now part of ICIS, says, "Back-loading will reduce the quantity of carbon allowances auctioned to EU ETS participants in 2014, 2015 and 2016. ICIS forecast the impact of back-loading will be to increase carbon prices significantly during the remainder of 2014 and beyond. Our expertise will provide insight on how industrial companies could manage their portfolio of EUAs (EU Allowances)."
