Emissions
Trader in Prague.
Vítáme Vas
Welcome to my site from Prague, Czech Republic. After working in NY and
Sydney I came to this beautiful city for fincial markets trading. I
then did some work around the region - Romania, Ukraine, Greece,
Serbia, Austria - and am now settling down here.
My professional career is based on a background in trading (foreign
exchange, commodity futures and emerging market equities), and some
recent consulting in the acquisition of Serbian Savings Bonds as well
as seeking distressed debt of Serbia, Czech Republic and Argentina. Now
I am working as a trader and originator of emissions credits.

Recently I have been working on a marketing project
for Blackstone
Global Ventures, a.s., a carbon asset manager and emissions
trading company. At Blackstone Global Ventures (BGV) I have been
marketing the company to prospective financiers in order to asist in
the development and origination of new emissisions credits. The new
credits, Emission Reduction Units under the Joint Implementation
Mechanism, are used by nations and companies that have caps on
their emissions. These credits are purchased by the nations and
companies so that they can meet their emission targets, and thereby
contribute to the reduction of Greenhouse Gases with cause Global
Warming.
Previously, in 2004 I created one of Eastern Europe's most
active EUA (European Union Allowance) trading desks at the active Czech
Stock Broker, Atlantik Financni Trhy (Atlantik Financial Markets). At
Atlantik I transacted EUA deals in a service that offered regional
corprate clients the access to the professional Emissions Trading
Scheme in Europe. It would be fair to say that our desk was one of the
most active "non-compliance" traders in Eastern Europe.
The Kyoto Protocol inspired International Emissions Trading mechanism
and the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme are ways of pricing the
cost of harmful greenhouse gases. It allows the market place to price
something that would normally be the role of govermental bodies and by
this way ensuring a more realisitic value, free from state lobbying,
vested interests and the unrealistic demands of environmental groups.
I believe that the future of the Emissions Trading markets - from
origination through CDM/JI projects all the way to the trading of
underlying EUAs and later CERS and ERUS - will be a rapidly growing
one.
Please contact me if you would like information on any of the above. My

Oh, on a side note: I am part owner of a coffee house in Prague.
