Produktbeschreibung

A comprehensive overview of the energy sector and its physical and financial markets

The first in a series of study guides for GARP's Certificate in Energy Risk Management program

The Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP) created the Certificate in Energy Risk Management to provide a practical

understanding of the risks inherent in the energy industry and to offer a comprehensive overview and analysis based on the

everyday practice of energy risk management in the global physical and financial energy markets.

Foundations of Energy Risk Management is an integral part of GARP's Certificate in Energy Risk Management-a rigorous,

practice-driven, comprehensive program developed to meet the needs of today's dynamic global energy markets and the highly

skilled professionals working with energy-and the first in a series of books focusing on energy risk management.

Developed from in-depth insights and expert advice from internationally recognized leaders in energy risk management, this book

familiarizes the reader with the language of the energy industry, energy trading, and risk management, and covers:
The steps in the commodity cycle
The global markets for various energy products-crude oil, refined products, natural gas, LNG, and electricity/power
The various risk types inherent to the energy business
The risk management tools available to energy companies . . . and much more

Each chapter contains practical, real-life examples and explanations of energy-related events to explain the "science" and

"business" of energy. Tables, graphs, and diagrams reveal the complex path energy takes to reach the consumer, the risks

relating to various energy commodities, and the role of the commodity markets. For anyone working in the energy industry or

interested in energy, it is essential to have a firm understanding of the physical and financial energy markets, how these two

markets interrelate, and what risks are involved in each. Foundations of Energy Risk Management helps in achieving this goal.

It puts you in a better position to excel in GARP's Certificate in Energy Risk Management.

Completing the Certificate in Energy Risk Management is not only an accomplishment, but the right step in career development.
