Environmental products

Leveraging the experience of our parent group, ENGIE Global Markets enables our clients to benefit from an unrivalled expertise in environmental products.

Options & structured products

ENGIE Global Markets offers an unparalleled range of structured products for highly customized solutions. These solutions range from plain vanilla options to complex derivatives traded in all major currencies and across the entire energy spectrum, including gas, LNG, power and environmental products.

All our solutions can be tailored to meet our customers’ specific needs, from upstream explorers and producers to downstream industrial consumers. In terms of Exploration and Production projects, a number of solutions can be designed to protect the producer’s future revenues against market volatility or to help capitalize on market opportunities.  We customize our products throughout the complex logistic LNG chain and assist LNG players with: protecting their margin against market or operational risks seizing market opportunities to take advantage of geographical spread arbitrages or flexibilities inherent to their portfolio.

We also develop a number of structured products aimed at natural gas storage portfolio monetization, which allow the owner to benefit from market volatility. Finally, by monetizing the option value of a power plant or allowing it to reduce the cost of financing, we can design and acquire a VPP structure or propose LT hedging solutions to their owner.

The examples above are only part of the wide range of customized products we design.
