Antonello Zanfardino has been active on the European carbon market for more than five years, first as a carbon trader on the European market, responsible for the origination and trade of environmental commodities: CO2 markets (EU-ETS), Guarantees of Origin, and credits used in voluntary schemes and later on as manager of a carbon team. This experience got him in touch with large industrials, utilities and aviation companies that have a compliance obligation.
In 2021, Antonello joined BRS Group in Geneva, the oldest shipbroking company in the world (founded in 1856) to help develop the company’s newly created carbon department. His role in BRS shifted to a more analytical / advisory one and he prepares ship owners and charterers to face the upcoming European ETS regulation, and helps them understand the opportunities that voluntary markets may offer with his carbon project development expertise.
