The first in a series of study guides for GARP′s Certificate in Energy Risk Management program
The Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP) created the Certificate in Energy Risk Management to provide a practical understanding of the risks inherent in the energy industry and to offer a comprehensive overview and analysis based on the everyday practice of energy risk management in the global physical and financial energy markets.
Foundations of Energy Risk Management is an integral part of GARP′s Certificate in Energy Risk Management—a rigorous, practice–driven, comprehensive program developed to meet the needs of today′s dynamic global energy markets and the highly skilled professionals working with energy—and the first in a series of books focusing on energy risk management.
Developed from in–depth insights and expert advice from internationally recognized leaders in energy risk management, this book familiarizes the reader with the language of the energy industry, energy trading, and risk management, and covers:
The steps in the commodity cycle
The global markets for various energy products—crude oil, refined products, natural gas, LNG, and electricity/power
The various risk types inherent to the energy business
The risk management tools available to energy companies . . . and much more
Each chapter contains practical, real–life examples and explanations of energy–related events to explain the "science" and "business" of energy. Tables, graphs, and diagrams reveal the complex path energy takes to reach the consumer, the risks relating to various energy commodities, and the role of the commodity markets. For anyone working in the energy industry or interested in energy, it is essential to have a firm understanding of the physical and financial energy markets, how these two markets interrelate, and what risks are involved in each. Foundations of Energy Risk Management helps in achieving this goal.
It puts you in a better position to excel in GARP′s Certificate in Energy Risk Management.
Completing the Certificate in Energy Risk Management is not only an accomplishment, but the right step in career development.

I would say that it is a very very quick introduction to the <sarcasm>astounding</sarcasm> fact that people find, purify, sell and use energy. Chapter 1 lays out these generalizations. Chapter 2 lists the different risks in energy markets (a valuable part of the book). Chapter 3 gives a bunch of disconnected statistics about world energy uses. Chapter 4 contains a bunch of random statistics laid out according to what type of energy those statistics apply to. Chapter 5 is what you probably bought the book for, but there is next to nothing there (yet this is the most valuable part of the book). A few bad examples, no math, and you come away knowing what you did beforehand. Chapter 6 is two pages.
I'm not sure if you can tell from my review, but I feel cheated. If this book was advertised as an $8 just-basics handbook then I would have been happy. But charging a textbook price for this? You should probably keep looking.
