"Change is the only constant." This phrase opened Westlark Advisors’ first blog post in our carbon neutrality series in 2023. That phrase still applies in today’s market. Read on for some of the possibilities we see for carbon credits in today’s changing energy market.
A recent New York Times article highlighted some unintended consequences of pushing electricity consumption as part of a plan for reaching climate goals. These consequences lead us to think about whether or not fossil fuels are really going away.
Carbon credit values fell during the last half of 2023 and began 2024 looking weak. Will there be a rebound this year?

We enjoy working with Westlark Advisors. Great people who have helped our business!
Westlark Advisors has taken the burden of the everyday supply logistics off our plate and allowed us to focus on our operations in the critical times of the year. They have educated our team along the way and helped us brainstorm options/risks that fit our business model. Westlark Advisors has allowed the Tevis organization to explore opportunities within the supply and hedging arena that we would not have been exposed to without the relationship.
We experience less angst when making a futures purchase.*
They not only taught us how to plan and diversify our supply, but also new ways to protect the price. They have been great at negotiating supply deals and putting plans in place to know we will be secure when the market is not. I am confident that if things get tight we will be in a better position than our competitors.
We can’t say enough about the high level of service the entire team provided us. We relied on them and they came through for us over and over. They are complete professionals and a pleasure to do business with.
It has been one of the best decisions that our company has ever made. The Westlark Advisors team have looked after our interests since day one, and have executed the plan each year very well.
Westlark Advisors has partnered with energy firms since 1998 to provide transparent, value-driven commodity market advisory services.
