HOUSTON, May 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy Risk Magazine
announced today that Element Markets was named Emissions House of
the Year, an honor bestowed upon only one company each year to
recognize excellence in providing environmental commodity services
across global markets. This year marks an unparalleled third win by
Element Markets, having achieved the honor in 2010 and 2014.
"We are thrilled to win this award for the third time in less
than a decade. At Element Markets, we have a team of amazing
employees who have all helped position us as a premier
environmental commodity company", said Angela Schwarz, President and CEO. "Winning this
award multiple times puts us in the company of global commodity
giants like JPMorgan, Citi, and Barclays, clearly showing that our
position in the marketplace is well regarded and that we continue
to deliver exceptional value to our clients."
Element Markets received the award in part for being the most
comprehensive environmental marketing firm in North America, with a strong performance in
renewable natural gas, emission credits, and carbon allowances and
offsets. 2017 was the best year in Element Markets' history, as
measured by revenue and operating income, driven by growth in all
markets.
The company continued to establish its position as the largest
independent marketer of biogas in 2017, registering four additional
facilities under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and Low Carbon
Fuel Standard (LCFS).
Element Markets is also the largest player in the U.S. emissions
markets by market share based on volume and value. 2017 was a
landmark year for the company's emissions business, having handled
the largest regional emissions procurement ever completed, valued
at over $130 million, for a single
client. Element Markets participated in over 50% of the value of
transactions completed in the U.S. criteria pollutant (NOx, SO2,
VOC, and PM10) markets.
In the voluntary and compliance carbon markets, the company
transacted over 1,000,000 tonnes of compliance-based credits on
behalf of our clients over the past year and grew its voluntary
carbon sales by 180%, helping multinational enterprises meet
increasingly ambitious sustainability goals.

Year three times. Past winners include:
