Nodal takes in enviro markets

Since Nodal Exchange was acquired by the European Energy Exchange (EEX), part of Deutsche Borse Group, this time last year, the company has made all sorts of announcements. Nodal Exchange launched power options last year and also started up a whole new freight futures market for Q4 this year. At an earnings call in Q1, EEX officers discussed investments and initiatives in blockchain technology in an effort to bring its far-flung array of energy exchanges closer together, Nodal included. Last week, the firm announced that along with its beefy portfolio of power and gas contracts, Nodal will next launch a “broad suite of North American environmental contracts in the second half of 2018.”
