PRODUCTS
Compulsory Stockholding Obligations (CSO) Tickets

The International Energy Agency (IEA) and the European Union (EU) require member states to hold emergency reserves of oil products—compulsory stockholding obligations (CSO). Obligated entities can meet these obligations via:

  • Physical Stock: Directly holding crude oil or petroleum products stocks.
  • Delegation: Arranging leasing agreements (CSO tickets) with other participants that hold stocks in excess.
PRODUCTS
Renewable Fuels and Renewable-Fuel Certificates

EU renewable energy directives (RED I and RED II) and national legislations set minimum renewable energy targets; a sub-target is imposed on road and rail transport. Obligated entities can meet these obligations via:

  • Renewable Fuels: Blending renewable fuels into road/rail transport fuels.
  • Renewable-Fuel Certificates: Purchasing renewable-fuel certificates from companies that blend renewable fuels.
