Global Fuel Supply (GFS) has launched Blue Energy Partners with a new office in Oslo. The company aims to support customers through the green transition.
To lead this new direction, GFS has appointed Trine Braathen as Director of Environmental Trading. With more than a decade of experience in carbon and renewable markets, she has worked with shipping, aviation, and industrial clients worldwide. Braathen will oversee environmental trading activities, including EU ETS trading, EUA transactions, and tailored advisory services, with a focus on developing solutions for both maritime customers and new client segments.
“I’ve always believed there’s more we can do and more we can optimize, to safeguard customers’ margins against the risks brought on by the energy transition. Environmental trading is, at its core, about the people you meet, the trust you earn, and the depth of market expertise you bring to the table. I’m truly honoured and excited to step into the role of Director of Environmental Trading. With the professional and dedicated team at Blue Energy Partners by my side, I’m confident we’ll build, brick by brick, on the opportunities ahead,” said Braathen.
Blue Energy Partners serve also airlines and industrial clients
The team has also been strengthened with the appointments of Camilla Marie Christensen as Trading Director, Andreas Nektheden Johansen as Senior Energy Supplier, and Victoria Elsie Nektheden Johansen as Supply Specialist. These additions highlight the company’s commitment to building a strong, specialized team delivering both traditional energy supply and new environmental trading solutions.
Unlike traditional suppliers, Blue Energy Partners has a mandate to serve not only maritime customers but also airlines and industrial clients. While the maritime sector remains central to its strategy, this broader scope provides flexibility and new growth opportunities.
“We are here to raise the bar and help push the industry towards a greener future, and give shipowners and operators the tools, the data, and the insights they need to stay ahead of regulation, manage risks, and unlock more value in the green transition,” said Bijan Shahbaz, Chief Operating Officer.
