"People often overlook the logistics behind commodity transportation—that’s where Trafigura plays a vital role. Vessels departing from Panama, Rotterdam, or Singapore depend on marine fuels to complete their voyages. This is just one of the many ways our Group powers global trade." Argentinian national Ignacio Cuartas Agromartin joined Trafigura’s Graduate Programme in Montevideo in 2020 and, by 2022, transitioned to a trading role at our marine fuels supply joint venture, TFG Marine, based in Panama. In this Meet Our People video, Ignacio shares insights into his career journey and his perspective on Trafigura’s dynamic and collaborative working culture.

This week at the CERAWeek conference in Houston, our Global Head of Carbon Trading, Hannah Hauman, participated in panel discussions on Designing Future Carbon Markets (CBAM) and Carbon Management and Carbon Policies. Reflecting on global carbon markets, Hannah highlighted three key themes: clarity, convergence and competition. “What we are now seeing across global carbon markets are themes of clarity, convergence and competition.  Clarity in the form of crystallised regulatory paths to the end of the decade, where companies now have line of sight on long term compliance requirements. Convergence in terms of specification for projects - specifically with the launch of the Article 6 market and also removals as seen with Symbiosis buyers’ consortia. And finally, competition - where companies and countries alike are focused on competitive advantage as it relates to the need for CBAMs, demanding returns from sustainability investments, and ensuring long term advantage with low carbon intensity products.” #CERAWeek #CarbonMarkets #CBAM #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #ConnectingVitalResources #Trafigura

Margaux Moore, our Head of the Energy Transition Group and Venture Capital Investments, took part in the Hydrogen: Evolving Markets panel at this week’s CERAWeek conference in Houston, offering insights into the evolving role of hydrogen in the energy transition. “The buildout of the hydrogen economy continues to be underway. Trafigura is advancing the development of at least two hydrogen projects in Europe, and we have laid out the foundation within our business for the scale up in adoption of hydrogen-based fuels such as ammonia and methanol. Ultimately, we still need to see certainty and longevity behind the needed regulations and some better clarity on gas-based hydrogen in Europe.” “There is a time and a place for the roll out of hydrogen and we should be taking a pragmatic, disciplined approach to its deployment.” #CERAWeek #EnergyTransition #Hydrogen #Trafigura #ConnectingVitalResources  

Our CEO, Richard Holtum, took the stage at CERAWeek, the world’s biggest energy conference in Houston this week. Richard joined the panel on Investments in Volatile Markets explaining how physical commodity traders navigate disruptions—connecting producers and consumers through a global logistics network. “Our core business is to act as a shock absorber for volatility. We deliver the molecule of gas, the electron, the tonne of metal, the barrel of oil around the world. We navigate tariffs, regulations, sanctions and geopolitics to ensure our customers receive the right product, at the right time, in their chosen specification, currency, and destination—safely and on schedule.” “For us, volatility means that we work a lot harder, but it also means that we become significantly more relevant to our customers.” #CERAWeek #Energy #Trafigura #ConnectingVitalResources

During International Energy Week in London, Ben Luckock, Trafigura’s Global Head of Oil, joined Bloomberg News' The Opening Trade to discuss the key factors shaping the oil market today.   Ben described an oil market caught between concerns over global economic growth and a highly volatile geopolitical landscape. He highlighted how sanctions on Russia, imposed after its invasion of Ukraine, have added complexity to global oil flows. “The Russia-Ukraine war didn't significantly slow down Russian energy consumption around the globe. It just made the market very inefficient because vessels were traveling much farther than necessary. Much higher ton-miles were being expended, and more bunker fuel was being burned, but the oil was still being delivered. However, those two issues have now stabilised.” “The two big unknowns are: how the US is going to deal with its trade issue with China, and how the US is going to handle Iran. I think the Iranian issue is the one we need to watch closely because we're back at the low end of the trading range for oil. It has been a USD70 to USD80 market for some time now. Increased pressure on Iran may push it into a corner, and that’s something we need to be cautious about.” Watch highlights of the interview below: #Trafigura #IEWeek #OOTT #ConnectingVitalResources
