Company Introduction
& Strategy
Aurora Commodities is a newly established, independent trading firm headquartered in the Netherlands. Our mission is to provide smart, reliable, and professional hedging and market access solutions that support the global transition to low-carbon fuels. We specialize in bridging the gap between physical and financial energy markets.
We position ourselves as a value-added partner for energy suppliers, blenders, fuel consumers and financiers navigating the renewable
energy landscape.
Product & Trading Focus
Aurora Commodities is actively building new partnerships across Europe, Asia and North America. We’re here to empower your transition through smart trading and help you navigate the evolving renewable commodity markets.
Renewable Fuels
Swaps & Futures
Renewable Fuel
Certificates
We actively trade renewable fuel derivatives to hedge market risk for producers and users of physical fuels, including swaps and futures on biodiesel/FAME, HVO/renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). These instruments help stabilise margins and meet contractual pricing goals.
We provide access and liquidity in national fuel ticket schemes including LRE’s, German THG quota, UK’s RTFC’s and SAF Book & Claim systems. These rapidly growing markets respond directly to increased blending mandates across Europe.
Carbon Credit
Trading
Physical Supply
Capability
We support clients
in voluntary and compliance carbon markets, trading EU ETS allowances, verified carbon offsets, and international schemes like CORSIA and
J-Credit. Clients leverage these instruments to meet net-zero targets or generate revenue streams.
When required,
Aurora Commodities can assist and hedge in the execution and
fulfilment of physical renewable fuel positions, complementing our financial offering with trusted logistics and supply partners.

About
Trading has been at the heart of my career for more than 25 years. I started as a derivatives trader on the Dutch Option Exchange during the open outcry days. A fast-paced, high-energy environment where you had to trust your instincts, think quickly and stay calm under pressure. It was there that I truly learned how markets move and how to move with them.
From there, I grew into roles as a Market Maker in ETFs and later spent almost 10 years at ABN AMRO Bank as a Structured Products Trader in Equity Derivatives. Working with complex products and clients sharpened not only my technical expertise, but also my focus on delivering practical, reliable solutions.
Over the last 9 years, my journey naturally shifted toward the Renewable Energy market. What started as a professional step soon became a personal mission. Being able to apply my trading and risk management experience to the energy transition — and contribute to a more sustainable future — felt like the right place to be.
That combination of experience and purpose ultimately led me to found Aurora Commodities. With Aurora, I aim to bring clarity, strategy, and hands-on market knowledge to the low-carbon space, helping clients navigate opportunities and make confident decisions in a rapidly evolving market.
