Fuel Hedging

Fuel hedging is the pricing of fuel today that will be purchased, paid for, and consumed at a later time. This is done by contract. This pricing of fuel in advance creates a higher certainty of future fuel cost, lower fuel cost volatility, lower fuel budget risk, and gives the hedger a higher degree of control over fuel costs and enables them to strive toward lower overall fuel cost in the long-term.
