As an energy manager with alternate fuel switching capabilities you are concerned about emissions allowances. You're managing either short or long allowances, or you’re challenged by being short today and long next month. What do you do?

If you are long allowances, purchase a put option from BP so that you can sell them at a known strike price. Source
