Why This Matters
The difference between indicative benchmarks and executable market prices highlights the importance of transparent trading infrastructure. Participants can now evaluate real opportunities rather than relying solely on theoretical market estimates. The result is improved price discovery, tighter spreads, and greater confidence in FuelEU compliance planning.
"FuelEU is evolving into a true market. Participants need more than an index, they need transparency, liquidity, and confidence that prices reflect actual trading opportunities. The KICKSTER FuelEU Marketplace provides exactly that. By bringing buyers and sellers together in a transparent environment, we are helping establish a more efficient and accessible compliance market for shipping. Even if the FuelEU market is not comparable to a tradable commodity one, for sure the trends given by our indexes can add information for all stakeholders, reducing asymmetry ", said Pietro Valaguzza, CEO of KICKSTER.
