Mercuria

🌍 Mercuria at the FT Commodities Summit 2025 Today, we were excited to participate in the Financial Times Global Commodities Summit in Lausanne, with several of our team discussing key energy industry topics. Our CEO, Marco Dunand, delivered a keynote interview, sharing Mercuria’s perspectives on critical issues shaping the future of energy and sustainability. Highlights included: 🔹 Energy Transition & Strategy: Marco reaffirmed Mercuria’s sustainability commitment, spotlighting investments in metals and energy transition: "We made a pledge to direct 50% of our investments toward the energy transition—and we’ve already achieved that. There’s no reason to go back." He also explained Mercuria’s role as a connector, linking producers and markets to advance progress. 🔹 Nature Conservation: Marco showcased Silvania, our $500M investment vehicle that spans Australia, Indonesia, Africa, and the Americas, emphasizing, "Preserving nature is essential—not optional—for a livable planet," and partnerships like joining the Gates Foundation for impactful environmental initiatives. 🔹 Market Opportunities: Marco spoke on leveraging market volatility: "The metals market is still immature in many places. That’s where we see opportunity—to invest and bring our global expertise." 🔹 U.S. & Global Trade: Highlighting predictable U.S. trade policies, Marco said, "The U.S. approach may seem blunt, but it’s predictable—and in trade, predictability is a major advantage." He also emphasized partnerships with governments aligned on cleaner futures. 🔹 Philosophy & Purpose: "We never look at investments in isolation. It’s always about where we add value—through trading, logistics, and understanding flows," Marco said. Alongside Marco’s keynote, Mercuria experts contributed to key panels throughout the day: 🔸 Electrification & Metals Demand: Kostas Bintas explained, "We don’t just need more metals—we need different ones," highlighting copper, nickel, and battery-grade sulfates as critical, alongside supply localization trends. 🔸 Critical Minerals: Nick Snowden emphasized copper’s role, saying, "Copper is the blood of the new system," key to electrification and Mercuria’s energy transition efforts. 🔸 Decarbonization Strategy: Nick Lawson reflected on navigating decarbonization regulations, stressing precise investment decisions to achieve meaningful change. The discussions continue tomorrow with more of our team sharing insights on panels shaping the future of commodities markets. #FTCommoditiesSummit2025 #EnergyTransition #Commodities #Sustainability #GlobalTrade #Innovation #Mercuria

We’re pleased to share that Solar Proponent LLC, a leading developer of utility-scale solar and storage projects in ERCOT, has executed 1.6 GW AC of power purchase agreements (PPAs) across four projects in Texas with a leading technology company. This milestone underscores the growing demand for renewable energy and the critical role solar power plays in decarbonizing the energy landscape. As a proud backer of Solar Proponent, alongside EnCap Investments and Yorktown Partners, Mercuria is committed to supporting innovative projects that advance the energy transition. These PPAs will not only deliver much-needed energy capacity to the ERCOT market but also help corporate partners achieve their sustainability goals. Cassandra Rinaldo, CEO of Solar Proponent, shared: "Strong corporate interest has been essential to enabling financing of new power capacity to meet growing demand. These projects will provide needed energy capacity to support a growing ERCOT power market and aid our counterparty in achieving its decarbonization goals."

Mercuria is thrilled to have supported the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in their inaugural procurement event for Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) Eligible Emissions Units (EEUs). This successful event marks a significant step forward in the aviation industry's commitment to sustainability. With 32 airlines participating and 11 purchasing EEUs from the Government of Guyana, this marks the first large-scale purchase of CORSIA Phase 1 EEUs by airlines. James Cooper, our Head of Origination EMEA, Environmental Products, emphasized the importance of this initiative: “Mercuria’s mission is to leverage the power of markets to direct funds to vital carbon offset projects and enable companies to meet their emissions targets. The procurement event sent an important signal that EEUs command a premium price, which should encourage greater supply to flow to CORSIA rather than other sources of offset demand.” IATA, via the Aviation Carbon Exchange, intends to host quarterly CORSIA EEUs procurement events for airlines in 2025, with the next event being held alongside Guyana and Mercuria this quarter. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with IATA and other partners in future events, supporting the aviation industry's decarbonization goals. 🔗 Learn more about the event: https://lnkd.in/eRTv7Tvr #Aviation #Sustainability #CORSIA #CarbonOffsetting #IATA #Guyana
