日本語
本論文は、コロンビア国営石油会社Ecopetrolがカーボンオフセット原油取引を開発した事例を詳述する。同社は自社の主要原油グレードであるCastilla Blendの完全なカーボンフットプリントを測定し、原油販売による排出量を相殺するためのカーボンクレジット購入プロセスを確立した。当初はコロンビアの再生可能エネルギープロジェクト、後に植林プロジェクトに焦点を当てたクレジットを選定し、品質を検証した。最初の購入はPetroChinaが行い、その後国際的な低炭素商品への関心の高まりとともに販売が拡大した。課題としては、バイヤーへの追加コスト負担の説得、市場変動、クレジットの透明性と完全性の確保などが挙げられる。

This paper details the development of carbon-compensated crude oil trading at Ecopetrol, Colombia's national oil company. After measuring the full carbon footprint of its key crude grade Castilla Blend, the company established a process to purchase verified carbon credits from Colombian renewable energy and reforestation projects to offset emissions from crude sales. The first purchase was made by PetroChina, followed by further international sales. Challenges include convincing buyers to accept added costs, market volatility, and ensuring transparency and integrity in carbon credit selection.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Juan Carlos Santacruz provides a detailed overview of developing carbon-compensated crude oil trading at Ecopetrol, Colombia’s national oil company. After measuring the full carbon footprint of Castilla Blend, Ecopetrol’s key crude grade, Santacruz and his team established a process to purchase carbon credits that matched emissions from crude sales. The credits, focussed initially on Colombian renewable energy and later on reforestation projects, were selected for quality and verified by respected registries. Carbon-compensated crude oil was introduced to clients through a market tender, with PetroChina completing the first purchase and further international sales following as global interest in lower-carbon commodities increased. Santacruz highlights ongoing challenges: convincing buyers to accept the added cost, fluctuating market conditions and the need to ensure transparency and integrity in carbon credit selection. He also stresses that learning from established commodity trading processes supports optimization and risk management as Ecopetrol gradually reduces its exposure and increases direct trading in carbon markets.
