Brevan Howard is making a strategic move into commodities trading after nearly a decade hiatus, with the hiring of gas specialist Robert Alpen. Alpen, who previously led European gas trading at Engelhart, joins the macro hedge fund as part of its expansion into commodities, spearheaded by Elycia Sherman. The firm aims to invest $750 million in this endeavor. Despite a decrease in absolute prices following geopolitical events like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Europe's gas and power markets remain volatile due to shifts in energy supply dynamics. Hedge funds with established systems and algorithms are capitalizing on this volatility, with notable successes such as Citadel, which earned over $4 billion from commodities trading last year. Other multi-strategy funds like Millennium, Balyasny Asset Management L.P., and DRW have also bolstered their commodities desks in recent years. #Hedgefunds #commodities #traders Follow Kepler Search and www.keplersearch.com for #commoditiesjobs, #tradingjobs, #energyjobs and news in #oilandgas, #LNG #commodities, #trading and more. https://lnkd.in/gUKBceKz

"To network or not to network..." I love networking, because it broadens my horizon, keeps me up-to-date and I just like to exchange ideas with people and hear their experiences, perspectives and opinions. However, in the aftermath of the #Uniper Diversity Day on the topic of "social background" and Fatima Hussain, LL.M.'s inspiring speech, I once again asked myself to what extent networks are also "obstructionists". Networks are often not only sources of inspiration and exchange, but also of power and influence. If you have a good network, it is easier to get information, resources and opportunities that will help you privately or professionally. But not everyone has the same access to networks. For people from socially disadvantaged backgrounds or people with a migration background, for example, a firmly established, influential network of like-minded people can often become an obstacle, because it is much more difficult for them to get access or "belong". That's why it's important that we don't just use our networks for ourselves, but diversify them. This not only helps those affected, but also ourselves and our organizations, because it can contribute to: 💡 overcoming prejudices and stereotypes 📍 promoting empathy and understanding 🗝 strengthening our social responsibility by advocating for the interests of others, opening up opportunities for them and involving them ✔ and last but not least: to benefitting from diversity by learning from the different skills, ideas and solutions that people from different social groups can contribute. Therefore let us all contribute to making networks even more diverse and accessible!

Given that I proudly have both natural gas and nuclear power on my CV, me and the German Green Party was not exactly a love at first sight. Having said that, I’m really impressed by the pragmatism, determination and problem solving flexibility that they display. As a Lord if the Rings fan, I see the German greens the hobbits of energy geopolitics, and I mean it as a praise: As Tolkien wrote, “they did not choose their fate, fate has chosen them”. After a long period of cheerful and peaceful life they came to government for the perfect storm of geopolitical and energy crises, realized that there are evil wizards and monsters out there and they rose to the occasion. As a European conservative, I find it reassuring to see a German foreign minister who understands that freedom is defended by heavy tanks. The radicalized fringe of the activist group Last Generation is facing criminal prosecution as Germany decided to uphold the rule of law during the energy transition. Now we see a Green Party energy minister coming down hard to support carbon capture. In a world aiming for a cost efficient, smooth and just transition this support would be unremarkable. The overwhelming majority of well below 2 degrees pathways assessed by the IPCC have multibillion tons CCS. This is not instead of renewables and efficiency, but complements a radical renewable scale up. Scenarios where CCS plays a role include the 1.5 roadmap of the International Renewable Energy Agency with its explicit mandate to promote renewables. Michael Bloomberg used to express scepticism about CCS but BNEF that he owns has the intellectual independence and integrity to emphasize its importance. There is very little doubt that carbon capture will be instrumental in maintaining Germany’s position as an industrial powerhouse in the net zero age. Unfortunately, as an indication of the extent to which the energy transition was turned into a culture war issue, there is a widespread anti CCS propaganda by the activist left. Their battlecry that “CCS extends the life of fossil fuels’ is true, and that is precisely its strategic advantage. In large parts of the world it is politically inconceivable to envisage a fossil fuel ban. Three climate summits in a row are hosted by Egypt, the UAE and Azerbaijan, I would not advise European activists to try to vandalize museums or block highways in these countries. Entire industrial systems were built on the energy density of hydrocarbons. A technology that enables extends the life of these industrial and infrastructure systems without carbon going to the air greatly eases the transition. The problem is emissions, not the energy source. Facing down the science denial of the anti CCS ideologues of the green left for someone like me is even fun. For Green Party politicians, it is a remarkable intellectual journey and shows true leadership. Well done.

The sustainable finance market has seen explosive growth in the last 24 months, driven by the EU's ambitious climate goals. According to the European Commission, the EU needs to invest €1 trillion over the next decade to finance the European Green Deal.  Commodity traders play a pivotal role in reducing Scope 3 emissions, addressing the high-emitting value chains and contributing to the energy transition. I am proud of having obtained the Certification of Sustainable Finance Expert from the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management. #frankfurtschooloffinanceandmanagement #greenfinance #esg #sustanability #sustainablefinance #energytransition #renewableenergy

Attending the DGMK-Spring-Conference in Celle (Germany). Although geographical local, the scope of the conference is quite comprehensive. I am impressed how DGMK has adapted to the chances and needs of energy transistion in the last years: whereas this used to be a local E&P-conference, subjects are now also comprise geothermal energy, CCS, H2 R&D, energy storage, ... Encouranging to see that the subsurface knowhow is still around and growing with engineering spirit alife and curiosity in research continuing - invaluable input to manage energy transition. Let's hope German society and administration do not put up unnecessary obstacles. Personally, DGMK also triggers quite some memories on earlier publications, e.g., the first integrated model on Mittelplate in pre-Petrel-times (2001), CO2 capacity calculations (2008), 3D-uncertainty based on a fortran library and a self-coded software in C (2006), determination of net cutoffs based on percolaton principles (2005), etc.  I was even approached on a publication on subsurface temperatures in the Upper Rhein Graben from 2006! So never believe that your work from previous years is no longer of interest... https://lnkd.in/epJnXR4j

🚀 Exciting news from our Capital Markets Day in London. Some days ago, the OMV executive board hosted investors, analysts and journalists to give a comprehensive strategy update. It was an opportunity to showcase the innovative initiatives we put in practice since launching our Strategy 2030 in 2022. We also highlighted how OMV is moving forward as an integrated sustainable chemicals, fuels and energy company. ✅ There is a lot in the making in the Energy segment; I presented the priorities we have set for the upcoming years: ⏩In the exploration and production portfolio, our focus is on positioning ourselves as a Europe-centric player with a resilient portfolio. This will offer us a solid foundation to effectively navigate the market dynamics in a cyclical business environment. We are expecting a total production of about 350,000 boe per day in 2030. 60 percent of our total production by 2030 will be gas, substantially higher than today. ⏩Neptun Deep will contribute a great deal. Operated by our Group company OMV Petrom and Romgaz this is the largest gas development project in the EU that we expect to start operations in 2027. Our own gas production is a pillar of OMV’s consistent and successful gas diversification. Security of gas supply is of utmost importance to us. ⏩ We will strengthen and diversify our gas portfolio in the West and leverage power and gas in Romania. Our Gas & Power business will be a significant earnings contributor. We expect a clean operating result of approx. 300 million euros per year in the mid-term cycle. ⏩At the same time, OMV will build profitable low-carbon businesses in three areas: geothermal energy, renewable power, and CCS. These businesses are to generate a material contribution by 2030 and growing afterwards. ⏩ OMV Petrom plays an important role in our low-carbon strategy: Besides the strong position in the traditional business, our colleagues have the potential to develop into an energy transition leader for Romania and Southeastern Europe. OMV’s new brand claim “Forward for Good” describes our attitude: we are leading step by step through a responsible energy transition. Always progressing, always moving forward. #TeamOMV is on track. 🌟 Strategic priorities Energy 👇

This move, focused on assets in Italy, Egypt, and Croatia, signals Carlyle's continued investment in producing assets despite industry trends moving away from such engagements. The new entity, chaired by former bp CEO Tony Hayward, aims to boost production and potentially pursue further acquisitions in the region. Carlyle plans to enhance operational efficiency and reduce carbon intensity, aligning commercial success with environmental responsibility. The acquisition enables Energean to divert resources to other projects, including developments in Israel and a carbon capture initiative in Greece. https://lnkd.in/gdcWxt6M
