Abstrakt: Abstract: EU ETS industries operate in an environment of considerable uncertainty, complicated by the looming changes that will be required to comply with greenhouse gas reduction directives. Any plan to address these changes must incorporate a thorough analysis of the options and of the associated risks. Several risk and options analysis techniques are outlined and, while not widely established, can provide added confidence when preparing a strategy and may enable better management of the risks. An example Quantitative Risk Analysis (QDA) is provided which demonstrates its strength in collapsing a multi-dimensional risk analysis into an easy-to-interpret 2-dimension graph showing the likelihood of the economic viability, by utilisation of statistics and inter-dependencies. These techniques, such as QRA, have helped several refining and power companies to enhance their strategic planning process and to make investment decisions that are adequately hedged against the project risks.
