Abstract
In this master thesis we study and explore the relationship between the clean spark spread

commodities; electricity, natural gas and CO2 allowances prices in Germany, the Netherlands

and the U.K. The time period for the analysis is based on the establishment of the EU

Emissions Trading Scheme in 2005 and the following phases. In the statistical analysis we

made several observations that are important for various market participants exposed to the

markets. The analysis has also emphasized the importance of using several statistical

techniques to explore a causal relationship. The statistical frameworks used in the analysis are

correlation, co-integration, error-correction model and Granger causality.

In the short-run perspective we found that prices of the same commodity at different hubs

were strongly correlated in returns, while cross-commodity (spark spread) return correlations

were rather weak. However, in a long-run perspective we found well-defined links between

electricity and natural gas prices.
