What are the Dutch Dispensation Rights (DPR)?
The Dutch Dispensation Rights (DPRs) are a compliance instrument introduced alongside the EU ETS. They apply to emissions from ETS1 companies, waste incinerators, and nitrous oxide emitters. Companies subject to the tariff must pay a fixed CO₂ price per ton emitted, which increases annually. DPRs (in Dutch: Dispensatierecht) are OTC tradeable certificates, each representing the right to emit 1 tonne of CO₂.

Every year covered companies receive a free allocation of DPRs from the Dutch authorities. After annual emissions’ verification, companies may face either a surplus or a shortage of DPRs. Within this supply-demand imbalance, Vertis acts as a trusted intermediary.
